The club’s anniversary celebrations carried into early August, with President Ertuğrul Doğan confirming aggressive negotiations for Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah. On 31 July the club publicly submitted a two‑year contract offer worth roughly €34 million in total – about €17 million per season – with the bulk of the cost covered by sponsors and no sell‑on‑shirt clause. The proposal has not been signed; Salah’s representatives remain in contact and a decision is pending. Salah’s camp has reportedly reacted positively to the terms, though no official agreement has been reached. Trabzonspor entered the race after Beşiktaş withdrew from talks, and other interested parties include MLS and Saudi clubs. The club is also discussing a commercial partnership with Adidas. Salah left Liverpool after a nine‑year spell in which he made 442 appearances, scored 257 goals and provided 123 assists. During the same 59th‑anniversary camp in Austria, vice‑president Zeyyat Kafkas and coach Fatih Tekke joined the celebrations, cutting the commemorative cake. Club officials again stressed that no contract has been signed and that the €34 million two‑year offer remains on the table. Media reports continued to describe the offer as €17 million per season without a shirt‑sale revenue clause, while earlier club statements mentioned a 20 % share of future shirt‑sale revenues. The club also noted interest in other targets, such as Nigerian forward Chibuike Nwaiwu. On 31 July 2026, during a pre‑season camp in Austria marking Trabzonspor’s 59th founding anniversary, officials reiterated that no contract has been signed yet. The same €34 million two‑year offer, now described as including a 20 % share of future shirt‑sale revenues, remains on the table. The club’s leadership framed the anniversary events and the potential signing as part of a broader plan to strengthen the squad and restore competitive standing in the Süper Lig.
