Mohamed Salah has joined Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor on a free transfer.<\/p>\n
Salah has signed a two-year deal following his exit from Liverpool at the end of last season after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract a year early.<\/p>\n
The decision ended a nine-year spell at Anfield, cutting short the terms he had agreed in April 2025, after a difficult season that 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
The 34-year-old 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. It was less than three years ago that Liverpool rejected a \u00a3150m offer from Saudi club Al Ittihad for Salah.<\/p>\n
Carragher questions Salah move<\/h3>\n
Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher:<\/em><\/p>\n
“I never believed he was going to go to Saudi, because number one, he’s too good for that. I think he can be playing in Serie A. Turkey for me feels a level too low.<\/p>\n
“I was convinced he’d end up at AC Milan or Juventus or somewhere like that; maybe his wages were a problem. Looking at him, I don’t know him; I have never spoken to him.<\/p>\n

“But he’s like Ronaldo, he’s so driven, his numbers mean so much to him. I thought, he can still do this in Turkey by the way, but I thought he’d want to play at a real prestigious club.<\/p>\n
“Obviously his wage demands have put a few people off but I thought he might almost curb those demands a little bit to almost get a better club.<\/p>\n
“To go to an AC Milan or Juventus or whoever it may be, play at the San Siro, still playing in big games, still playing in Europe. Turkey just feels like… I just think he’s better than that.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
