Mohamed Salah set to take his next step with Trabzonspor after Liverpool departure

Mohamed Salah is expected to sign for Trabzonspor on Thursday, beginning a new stage of his professional career after agreeing to leave Liverpool at the end of last season.

The Egypt international is set to join the Turkish club as a free agent. The move follows a mutual agreement between Salah and Liverpool to bring his contract to an early end, concluding his nine-season spell at Anfield.

Salah’s anticipated arrival will mark a significant change after almost a decade with Liverpool, where he established himself as one of the club’s leading attacking players and became one of the most productive goalscorers in its history.

During his time with the English club, the Egyptian forward scored 257 goals in 442 appearances. Those figures represent the output of a player who was central to Liverpool’s success and remained a major presence throughout his long spell on Merseyside.

His departure came at the end of last season, when both parties agreed to end their association before the contract’s original conclusion. That decision left Salah available to move to another club without a transfer fee, paving the way for his expected switch to Trabzonspor.

The agreement with the Turkish side has been reached, with the formal signing scheduled for Thursday. Once completed, it will bring an end to the uncertainty over where Salah would continue his career after leaving Liverpool.

For Trabzonspor, the proposed deal would see the club secure a player with nine seasons of experience at one of England’s biggest clubs and a record of 257 goals in 442 matches. For Salah, it offers the opportunity to begin again in a new footballing environment after spending the majority of his professional career with Liverpool.

The transfer also closes the Liverpool chapter of Salah’s career in definitive fashion. His time at the club ended following the mutually agreed early termination of his contract, rather than through a move involving a transfer fee.

Salah’s next appearance in a Trabzonspor shirt will therefore represent more than just a change of club. It will be the first step of a new professional experience for the Egyptian, whose future has now been settled after his Liverpool departure.

The only immediate stage left is the expected completion of the signing on Thursday. If finalised as planned, Salah will officially begin his Trabzonspor career as a free transfer, following nine seasons, 442 appearances and 257 goals for Liverpool.
