Mohamed Salah signs for Trabzonspor after completing medical
Mohamed Salah has completed his move to Trabzonspor and officially begun a new chapter in his career after the Turkish club confirmed the Egyptian forward had passed his medical.
The former Liverpool star signed a two-year contract with Trabzonspor at a ceremony attended by club president Ertugrul Dogan. The agreement makes Salah one of the most significant signings in the club’s recent history and brings an end to one of the biggest transfer stories of the current summer window.
Salah’s arrival in Turkey was met with a huge show of support from Trabzonspor fans. Thousands gathered at the airport when he arrived, while large numbers of supporters also followed him to the location of his medical examination.
The welcome continued throughout the day, reflecting the popularity Salah has built during his career. The Egypt international acknowledged the support and interacted with fans as he completed the final stages of his move.
Trabzonspor published photographs from the contract-signing ceremony on its official social media accounts. The images showed Salah putting pen to paper alongside Dogan, formally confirming his status as a Trabzonspor player.
Under the financial terms of the deal, Salah will earn an annual salary of 17m euros. His contract also includes a marketing clause giving him 20% of the revenue generated from the sale of products carrying his name or image.
That arrangement highlights the commercial importance of the signing as well as its sporting impact. Salah’s arrival represents a major investment by Trabzonspor and gives the club one of the most recognisable players in world football.
The move follows discussions between Salah and another Turkish club, Besiktas, earlier in the summer transfer window. Those negotiations broke down because of disagreements over the financial aspects of the proposed deal.
Trabzonspor subsequently reached an agreement with Salah and completed the transfer, securing a player whose arrival has generated considerable excitement among its supporters.
The Egyptian forward now begins his first period with the Turkish club after completing the medical, signing his contract and receiving an enthusiastic reception from fans. Trabzonspor’s announcement confirmed that all the formal steps had been concluded and that Salah’s move was officially complete.
