Mohamed Salah signs for Trabzonspor on a two-year contract after leaving Liverpool as a free agent

Mohamed Salah has signed a two-year contract with Turkish side Trabzonspor after leaving Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of last season.

Salah will earn around £14.6million-per-season and will receive a 20 per cent share from products sold under ​his name, plus conditional bonuses each season – although they are not clear.

Salah was unveiled to fans on Thursday and was given a hero’s welcome as thousands of supporters cheered in ​Trabzonspor’s stadium, waving club flags, holding torches and chanting songs.

‘The last couple ​of days, it’s an experience I’ve never had in my life. ⁠I just want to thank every one of you for being here today. ​I am feeling so much love here I never expected that reception,’ the 34-year-old ​Salah said during the signing ceremony.

‘I am here to win, I wanna win something with this club because you showed me so much love. I appreciate that.’

The Egypt forward left Liverpool having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances and having won the Premier League twice and the Champions League.

His output waned last season and he was left on the ​bench in Champions ​League games, leading ⁠to a public spat with Liverpool’s then-manager Arne Slot.

Salah started his career in Europe at Swiss side Basel in 2012 and ​later joined Chelsea. He also had stints at Fiorentina and ​Roma ⁠between 2015 and 2017 before joining Liverpool.

Trabzonspor – generally considered to be the fourth-biggest team in Turkey after Istanbul sides Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, and Besiktas – finished third in the Super Lig ⁠last ​season to qualify for the Europa League play-off ​round.

The club’s last domestic league championship was in the 2021-22 season.
