Mohamed Salah Arrives in Trabzon After Signing Contract

Mohamed Salah has arrived in Trabzon after completing his medical and signing a contract with Trabzonspor, ahead of his public presentation.

The Egypt captain landed at Trabzon Airport on Wednesday evening alongside club president Ertuğrul Doğan. Thousands of supporters gathered to welcome Salah, completing a day that began with a separate reception at Istanbul Atatürk Airport.

Trabzonspor had arranged free public transport for the Trabzon welcome and asked supporters to limit the use of flares to avoid disrupting airport operations.

The 34-year-old travelled from Istanbul after passing his medical examinations at Acıbadem Maslak Hospital. He then signed his contract at Doğan’s office before boarding a private plane to the Black Sea city.

“We signed in my office a short time ago. Now we will fly to Trabzon together,” Doğan told Tivibu Spor. The president said the parties completed the transfer within four or five days of entering advanced negotiations.

Trabzonspor subsequently referred to Salah as their “new signing,” confirming that Thursday’s event will be a public presentation rather than the contractual signing.

Salah first arrived in Istanbul from the Greek island of Mykonos shortly before midday. He came out of the General Aviation Terminal wearing Trabzonspor’s claret-and-blue shirt and greeted hundreds of waiting supporters.

The former Liverpool forward applauded the crowd and led a traditional Turkish football chant before leaving in Doğan’s car. Trabzonspor also published footage of Salah wearing a No.61 shirt aboard the plane.

“Trabzon, are you ready? I can hear you. See you very soon. Everywhere is Trabzon,” he said.

Trabzonspor have not yet disclosed Salah’s complete financial package or officially confirmed the reported two-year duration.

Doğan said the club would publish the contract terms through Turkey’s Public Disclosure Platform on Wednesday evening or Thursday.

He previously confirmed that the agreement gives Salah a percentage of revenue from shirt sales. However, he rejected reports that the player’s share would reach 20%.

A similar commercial demand contributed to the collapse of Salah’s negotiations with Beşiktaş, as KingFut previously reported.

Doğan also revealed that Trabzonspor first contacted Salah’s representative during the World Cup. The talks accelerated when agent Ramy Abbas returned to the club after discussions with other teams ended.

Salah joins on a free transfer after ending his nine-year Liverpool career with 257 goals in 442 appearances and eight major trophies.
