Here’s the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-08-04 22:34:00.
Former Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is officially in discussions to join Trabzonspor, following his departure from Anfield. The announcement was made by the Turkish club on Tuesday, highlighting the sunny prospect for the Egyptian forward.
According to the latest updates, Salah is set to travel to Istanbul on Wednesday, with plans to head to Trabzon. Reports indicate that the 34-year-old has reached a preliminary agreement on a two-year contract, marking a new chapter in his illustrious football career.
Salah, who has been without a club since leaving Liverpool this summer, brought tremendous success to the Reds during his nine seasons. He netted an impressive 257 goals in 442 appearances, contributing to Liverpool’s triumph in major tournaments, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup (twice), FIFA Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup.
Before confirming his move to Trabzonspor, Salah was also linked to potential transfers to MLS and Saudi Arabian clubs. Additionally, his Turkish rivals, Besiktas, reportedly expressed interest in acquiring him just last week.
Last season, Trabzonspor clinched third place in the Turkish Super Lig, securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League. Salah’s recent performances at the World Cup were notable, as he played five matches, propelling Egypt to the round of 16, where they were unfortunately eliminated by Argentina.
Salah’s departure from Liverpool was made public in March, even after he signed a two-year contract extension in April 2025. His form had declined in the previous season, leading to his exclusion from multiple games. In a revealing interview, he criticized the club’s decisions and expressed concerns about his relationship with then-manager Arne Slot, raising questions about his future with the team.
Although Salah rejoined the squad following the Africa Cup of Nations, he struggled to reclaim the outstanding form that once made him a top scorer in the Premier League on four occasions.
