Egyptian captain Mohamed Salah is on the verge of joining Turkish club Trabzonspor, with the club confirming that transfer negotiations are in progress. Salah arrived at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport and proceeded to Trabzonspor to finalize the deal.

The former Liverpool striker departed Anfield at the end of last season after a distinguished nine-year spell with the Premier League giants. During his time with Liverpool, Salah netted 257 goals in 442 appearances across all competitions, making him the club's third-highest scorer. He helped the Reds win one Champions League title and two Premier League championships.

In the Premier League, the 34-year-old has scored 193 goals, 191 of which were for Liverpool, placing him fourth on the all-time top scorers list behind Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, and Wayne Rooney. His last international appearance was at the 2026 World Cup, where he helped Egypt reach the Round of 16 for the first time since 1934 before losing to the eventual runner-up, Argentina.
