Trabzonspor Officially Open Mohamed Salah Transfer Talks

Trabzonspor have officially opened negotiations to sign Egypt captain Mohamed Salah, the Turkish club announced on Tuesday.

The Süper Lig side issued a brief public announcement confirming their first formal move for the 34-year-old forward.

“Negotiations have begun regarding the transfer of professional footballer Mohamed Salah to our club,” Trabzonspor said.

So far, reports have placed Trabzonspor’s proposal at approximately €17 million per season over two years in a package that includes bonuses, while sponsors would reportedly cover part of the cost.

On Saturday, KingFut reported that Trabzonspor had sent draft contractual documents to the Egyptian’s agent, Ramy Abbas, as the parties attempted to complete the deal this week.

Several Turkish outlets subsequently claimed that Salah had accepted the offer and could travel to Trabzon on Wednesday.

Trabzonspor’s confirmation comes after club president Ertuğrul Doğan played down reports linking the club with Salah.

Doğan initially described claims surrounding the transfer as untrue. He then denied that an agreement or flight had been arranged but declined to reveal whether he had spoken directly with the forward.

Trabzonspor entered the race after talks between Salah and Beşiktaş stalled over financial and contractual terms. The Istanbul club declined to improve its final proposal but left the offer available.
