Transfer market news: Salah to join Trabzonspor for a hefty fee, Mbaye from PSG to Liverpool?

Veteran Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah, 34, is reportedly nearing a move to Turkish club Trabzonspor. After nine seasons with Liverpool, Salah is expected to arrive in Istanbul on Wednesday to finalize a two-year contract. Local media suggest his annual salary will be around 17 million euros, a slight decrease from his approximately 20 million euro earnings in England. Trabzonspor, which finished third in the Turkish league last season and will compete in the Europa League qualifiers, will be Salah's new home.

In other transfer news, Paris Saint-Germain's promising 18-year-old striker Ibrahim Mbaye is drawing significant attention from Liverpool. According to reports, the Cameroonian international has a preference for the English club over Bayer Leverkusen. Liverpool is reportedly prepared to meet PSG's €40 million asking price for the young forward, who has been developed within PSG's academy.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid is considering loaning out Argentine midfielder Franco Mastantuono, 19, to Italian club Fiorentina. Mastantuono, acquired for €45 million last year, has struggled to break into Real Madrid's star-studded squad. The loan move would allow him to gain more playing time as he continues to develop, though he remains under contract with Real Madrid until 2031.

Additionally, Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, 24, is expected to join Strasbourg on loan. The Danish international moved to Chelsea from Villarreal in 2024 for €24.5 million but has largely served as a backup. This move, facilitated by the shared ownership of both clubs by the BlueCo consortium, aims to provide Jorgensen with more regular playing time.
