Mohamed Salah is set to join Turkish side Trabzonspor on a free transfer after mutually agreeing to terminate his Liverpool contract a year early. <\/p>\n

Salah ended a nine-year spell at Anfield by cutting short the terms he had agreed in April 2025 after a difficult season for the 34-year-old, which saw him dropped and publicly fall out with then Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.<\/p>\n

One of Liverpool’s greatest players, Salah lifted seven major trophies during his time on Merseyside and left as the club’s third-highest goalscorer, netting 257 in 442 games.<\/p>\n

He has long been a target for clubs in Saudi Arabia, and that appeared to be Salah’s most likely destination when he delivered a bombshell interview after being dropped at Leeds last season.<\/p>\n

It was less than three years ago that Liverpool rejected a \u00a3150m offer from Saudi club Al Ittihad for Salah. However, he is now set for a spell in the Turkish Superlig. Trabzonspor will enter the Europa League playoffs after finishing third last season.<\/p>\n

‘Why has Salah chosen Trabzonspor’<\/h3>\n

Former Premier League defender John Curtis speaking on Sky Sports News’ Transfer Show: <\/em><\/p>\n

“The obvious one is the money. I’m sure. I think it’s rumoured to be 17m a year or something like that.<\/p>\n

“So you know that translates to a little bit less maybe than he was earning at Liverpool, and probably significantly less than he could have got at or in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

“It’s very easy to play with top players. So, is this a step down? Obviously, those players are very good players, but most Salah is used to working with the very best, and that impacts you as a player. So, again, it becomes a little bit of a shock.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
