Salah at Trabzonspor: Transfer friction and league progress

Overview

Mohamed Salah joined Trabzonspor on a two-year contract through June 2028 following his departure from Liverpool. The deal includes a €7 million signing fee, a 20% share of merchandise revenue, and an annual salary of €17 million plus performance bonuses. The transfer has driven massive commercial growth and has been viewed by President Ertuğrul Doğan as a potential diplomatic bridge between Egypt and Turkey.

Following the move, tensions surfaced regarding a failed transfer to Beşiktaş, where Beşiktaş president Serdal Adali alleged that Salah’s agent, Rami Abbas, requested a 35 percent commission.

On the pitch, Salah has made a significant impact in the Turkish Süper Lig. After a 1-1 draw against Kasımpaşa in his debut as a substitute, Salah led the team to a 2-1 victory over Başakşehir, scoring both goals. However, the club’s European ambitions faced a setback with a 0-5 aggregate loss to Ferencváros in the UEFA Europa League play-offs, resulting in relegation to the UEFA Conference League.

In the 2026-2027 Süper Lig season, Trabzonspor entered the third round with four points. After a 2-1 loss to Amed Sportif, the team, under the temporary leadership of Hüseyin Çimşir, sat 11th in the league. Following a 5-0 victory against Gençlerbirliği, Salah has set a historic milestone, becoming the first foreign player at the club to score four goals in his first three starts in the Süper Lig since the 2000-2001 season. Salah has accounted for 45% of the team's total goals in the first four weeks of the league. Former Liverpool player Steven Gerrard noted that Salah’s presence could serve as a driving force for Trabzonspor to become championship contenders.
