The club’s invitation has placed the focus on Papara Park, where supporters will gather to welcome Salah and see him presented publicly in Trabzonspor colours for the first time.

The ceremony is scheduled for the day after the club’s announcement and is intended to mark the beginning of Salah’s spell with the Turkish side. It will also give fans their first opportunity to see the Egypt international at the stadium following his arrival in the country.

Trabzonspor’s statement referred to the occasion as the start of an “unforgettable journey”, while Salah’s message directly asked supporters whether they were ready to meet him.

Further details provided by the club state that the player will complete his medical in Trabzon before putting pen to paper on the two-year contract. His proposed salary is 17m euros for each season, alongside other terms and bonuses.
