Trabzonspor said Tuesday it has opened transfer negotiations with free-agent forward Mohamed Salah, with club chairman Ertuğrul Doğan expressing hope that the Egyptian star will complete the move later this week.
In a statement sent to the Istanbul Stock Exchange by Trabzonspor and published on Türkiye's Public Disclosure Platform, the Black Sea club said: "Negotiations have begun over the transfer of professional soccer player Mohamed Salah, who is a free agent, to our club."
Speaking to broadcaster A Spor shortly after the statement, Trabzonspor Chairman Doğan said that while the transfer was not yet complete, Salah was expected to arrive in Istanbul for medical checks on Wednesday and then head to Trabzon to sign with the Black Sea side.
He did not say when the contract would be signed, but said it would likely be on Thursday.
The 34-year-old announced in March that he would be leaving English Premier League club Liverpool FC at the end of the 2025-2026 season.
