Trabzonspor have confirmed transfer negotiations for Mohamed Salah and put an arrival schedule on the move. The club said Salah will be at Istanbul Atatürk Airport at 12:00 on Wednesday, August 5, and that he is scheduled to arrive in Trabzon later the same day in the evening hours.
Trabzonspor's announcement
This is the point where a reported move becomes something more concrete, even if it is not done yet. Trabzonspor said the welcome-program details will be shared through the club’s official communication channels during the day, which is the clearest sign that this is now being handled publicly and on their timeline.
The wording still matters. The club said negotiations have begun, not that Salah has signed, and that distinction is important because the story is not a completed transfer announcement. It is an official confirmation of talks, plus a schedule for his arrival if the process keeps moving as planned.
Salah's Liverpool exit and recent output
Salah's appeal to Trabzonspor is being set against a quieter year by his standards. He scored 12 goals last season, described as his worst return since moving to England, and left Liverpool with 257 goals and 120 assists in 442 games.
His available season aggregate shows 5 appearances, 1 goal and 2 combined goal contributions. That is not the level Liverpool came to expect from him at his peak, and it helps explain why this move is being framed as a fresh start rather than a late-career victory lap.
The article also says his exit came 12 months earlier than planned after a public spat with Arne Slot. Even so, the only verified club line here is still the same one: talks are underway, and Salah is expected in Turkey on Wednesday.
If Trabzonspor follow through, the next update should come through their own official channels during the day on August 5.
