Liverpool supporters are still trying to process one of the most unexpected exits in recent club history.
After nine extraordinary years at Anfield, Mohamed Salah has officially left Liverpool and completed a stunning move to Turkish giants Trabzonspor on a free transfer. The Egyptian superstar has signed a two-year contract with the club.
And the destination has shocked football fans everywhere. 😱
For months, Salah had been linked with several major destinations, including Saudi Arabia, MLS and clubs elsewhere in Europe. Instead, the 34-year-old has chosen Trabzonspor, where he will reportedly earn around €17 million per season, with additional bonuses and a percentage of merchandise sales carrying his name. 💰🇹🇷
But this isn’t simply another transfer.
This is the end of an era at Liverpool.
Salah arrived at Anfield in 2017 and went on to become one of the greatest players in the club’s modern history.
🔥 257 goals
🎯 442 appearances
🏆 Two Premier League titles
🏆 Champions League winner
🥇 Multiple Golden Boots and individual awards
His 2024/25 campaign was particularly extraordinary, with Salah producing 29 Premier League goals and 18 assists while winning the league’s Player of the Season, Golden Boot and Playmaker awards.
So why Turkey?
A sensational social-media post claims that Salah privately told Liverpool legend Graeme Souness that he felt undervalued after nine years at Anfield and that Trabzonspor offered him something Liverpool could not.
However, that specific private conversation and the quoted words have not been independently verified by reliable reporting. The confirmed story is that Salah and Liverpool mutually agreed to terminate his contract a year early, allowing him to leave as a free agent.
There was also tension surrounding his final season at Liverpool, including a difficult relationship with then-manager Arne Slot and reduced playing time.
Now, instead of seeing Salah in the famous red shirt, Turkish supporters are preparing to welcome one of the biggest stars ever to play in the Premier League. 🤯🔥
Trabzonspor finished third in the Turkish Süper Lig last season and will compete in the Europa League playoff round, meaning Salah could immediately have European football to look forward to.
And imagine the scenes in Turkey…
