After Mohamed Salah approaching Trabzonspor.. Does beIN Sports own the rights to the Turkish league?

Via Btolat

Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is close to ending the controversy surrounding his next destination in his professional career, after all Turkish press reports confirmed his imminent joining of Trabzonspor.

Mohamed Salah became a free agent as soon as he left Liverpool at the end of last season, and it became official since June 30 last, when he reached a mutual agreement with the management to terminate his contract a year before its end.

Mohamed Salah was not short of offers on the table, as he received deals from the Saudi and American leagues, as well as the Turkish league, especially Beşiktaş, which was closest to signing him before everything collapsed due to his agent's financial demands.

Press reports confirmed in the past two days that Mohamed Salah and his agent Rami Abbas agreed on Trabzonspor's offer to join its ranks this summer, with the 34-year-old expected to arrive in Turkey tomorrow evening (to view the details from here).

Many are wondering how to watch Turkish league matches on television in order to follow star Mohamed Salah, as has been the custom over the past years when he was a prominent player in Liverpool's ranks.

The Qatari beIN SPORTS network holds the broadcasting rights for the Turkish league under a deal valid until the end of the 2026/27 season, i.e., next summer.

All Turkish league matches are broadcast via the beIN SPORTS Turkey network inside Turkey only, while in the Middle East and North Africa region, coverage is limited to a limited number of matches.

This comes amid conflicting schedules of Turkish league matches with those of the top five leagues, where priority is given to the latter given their value, popularity, and the degree of demand compared to the local league in Turkey.

Consequently, Trabzonspor matches, in whose ranks Mohamed Salah may play professionally, are not guaranteed to be fully broadcast via the beIN SPORTS network in the Middle East and North Africa region, unless there is any new development in broadcasting rights given the Egyptian star's value and overwhelming popularity.
