Overview
- Trabzonspor issued an official statement that negotiations have begun and posted that Salah will arrive at Istanbul Atatürk Airport at 12:00 on Wednesday, August 5, before travelling to Trabzon that evening.
- Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano posted a 'here we go' confirmation reporting a two‑year agreement is in place, but multiple outlets stress the move remains subject to medical checks, signatures and paperwork.
- Turkish reporting cites contract specifics that include roughly €17 million a year (about €325,000 per week) and a 20% share of revenue from products bearing Salah’s name, a clause that stalled earlier Besiktas talks.
- Beşiktaş has formally denied reaching a deal and previously reported Saudi and MLS offers, including an Al Ittihad salary report near $25 million, remain uncompleted or conditional on squad moves.
- If completed, the signing would pair Salah’s experience and global profile with Trabzonspor’s European campaign and could materially increase the club’s commercial income from merchandise and sponsorship.
