Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is close to joining the ranks of Trabzonspor, according to various press reports in the past two days, as he will begin a new stage in his professional career.
Mohamed Salah left the ranks of English Liverpool after spending nine years inside the corridors of "Anfield" stadium, but he decided to leave at the end of last season a year before the end of his contract.
Mohamed Salah has been linked with more than one destination since his official departure from Liverpool, between the Saudi and American leagues, in addition to the Turkish one.
Beşiktaş was the closest to securing Mohamed Salah's services before everything collapsed due to the exaggerated financial demands from his agent Rami Abbas, allowing Trabzonspor to emerge as the destination.
Various press reports in the past two days confirmed that Mohamed Salah agreed to move to the ranks of Trabzonspor, especially after the club met Rami Abbas's demands, bringing the 34-year-old closer to his new destination.
