Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah has officially joined Turkish club Trabzonspor on a free transfer, according to a report published on August 5, 2026. The club confirmed his arrival through a social media video, showing the star in Trabzonspor’s traditional maroon and blue shirt for the first time. The move ends one of the summer transfer window’s most widely discussed stories.

In a video message to supporters, Salah said: “Trabzonspor fans, are you ready? See you very soon.” He ended the message by saying the Turkish club slogan, “Bize her yer Trabzon.” The report said the process moved quickly after talks were formally announced, with his arrival in Turkey, medical examination and contract signing all completed in a short period.

Salah had been linked in recent weeks with Besiktas, Atletico Madrid, Saudi Pro League clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Diriyah, and several American clubs, but ultimately chose to remain in Europe. The transfer concludes his nine-year spell with Liverpool, where the report says he won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup, among other titles.
