Egypt captain Mohamed Salah has signed a two-year contract with Turkish club Trabzonspor after leaving Premier League side Liverpool at the end of his contract.
Trabzonspor announced Salah’s signing via a statement on Thursday.
The 34-year-old forward reached “a two-year agreement” with the club on the Black Sea coast who will compete in the Europa League play-off round at the end of August.
“Our new signing Mohamed Salah has signed the contract binding him to our club for two years, with the participation of our President Ertuğrul Doğan ❤️💙,” the club wrote on X.
Trabzonspor disclosed that Salah, the second-highest-paid player in the Premier League last season, will earn 17 million euros ($19.6 million) per season in addition to bonuses, a record for the Turkish league.
Salah will also receive a 20 percent share of revenue from sales of jerseys and merchandise bearing his name.
The Egypt captain was welcomed as a hero by thousands of fans in the northeastern city of Trabzon and is set to take part in a signing ceremony with supporters at Trabzonspor’s stadium later on Thursday.
“I am really happy and looking forward to training with the team. Everywhere I go I always win or try to win something. Hopefully we can do something in the league and in Europe as well,” Salah, who will wear the number 10 shirt, said on Wednesday.

He also scored 193 Premier League goals, 191 of them for the Reds, putting him fourth in the all-time list behind English trio Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, and Wayne Rooney.
