Trabzonspor are on the verge of completing one of the biggest transfers in Turkish football history after confirming that Mohamed Salah will arrive in Türkiye on Wednesday to finalize his move to the Black Sea club.
The Süper Lig side announced that formal negotiations with the Egyptian forward have begun after filing the required disclosure with Türkiye's Public Disclosure Platform (KAP). The club said Salah, who is currently a free agent, is scheduled to land at Istanbul Atatürk Airport's General Aviation Terminal at noon local time before traveling to Trabzon later in the day.
"The player is expected to arrive in Trabzon during the evening. The time and details of the welcome ceremony will be announced through our official communication channels during the day," the club said in its statement.
The transfer represents a stunning coup for Trabzonspor, who accelerated negotiations after talks between Salah and Beşiktaş broke down.
Club president Ertuğrul Doğan said discussions moved quickly once other interested clubs stepped aside, allowing Trabzonspor to secure an agreement with one of world football's biggest stars.
