Mohamed Salah has finalized his move to Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor, signing a two-year contract after parting ways with Liverpool. Following a mutual agreement to terminate his contract a year early, Salah brings an end to his nine-year stint at Anfield. During his time with Liverpool, he won seven major trophies and became the club's third-highest goalscorer with 257 goals in 442 games. Despite being a long-time target for Saudi Arabian clubs, Salah opted for Trabzonspor, where he is expected to earn around £15m per year in a favorable tax environment.
The Turkish league offers passionate supporters, high-profile matches, and potential European competition, making it an attractive choice for the 34-year-old. According to Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol, 'The deal makes financial sense for him...
He's going to play in a league that has a lot of big games and passionate supporters.' Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher expressed surprise at Salah's decision, stating, 'I never believed he was going to go to Saudi, because number one, he's too good for that. I think he can be playing in Serie A. Turkey for me feels a level too low.'
