There is currently no bigger free agent in world football than Mohamed Salah. A full month has passed since the Liverpool legend became available on the market, yet his next destination remains unknown. At the moment, however, Turkey appears to be the most likely option—not Istanbul, but the Black Sea city of Trabzon.Besiktas have reportedly made it clear that Salah must either accept their offer or walk away, prompting Trabzonspor to seize the opportunity. According to renowned Turkish transfer insider Yagız Sabuncuoglu, the club has now launched an ambitious move for the Egyptian superstar.🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Trabzonspor make their move for Salah 🇹🇷The Turkish giants have met with his representatives and officially submitted an offer worth €17m for a 2-year deal, @yagosabuncuoglu reports 🗞️Trabzonspor are trying to hijack the deal from Beşiktaş 😱 pic.twitter.com/TkzIDYjGeH— 433 (@433) August 1, 2026 Salah was said to have demanded €15 million per season from Besiktas but the Istanbul giants were unwilling to stretch beyond their financial limits. Negotiations stalled, opening the door for Trabzonspor, who have now tabled a contract running until 2028 worth €17 million annually.That salary would make Salah the second-highest-paid footballer in Turkey, behind only Victor Osimhen, who reportedly earns around €21 million per year at Galatasaray.Trabzonspor, a club currently lacking a genuine global superstar, hope Salah's arrival would elevate them to the level of Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, who strengthened significantly this summer by signing Mason Greenwood.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Their ambition is also to end Galatasaray's four-year dominance of Turkish football. Before the Istanbul club began its title streak, Trabzonspor were the last Super Lig champions, lifting the trophy in the 2021/22 season.It goes without saying that Salah would instantly become the biggest name in Trabzonspor's history. The bigger question is whether one of Liverpool's greatest-ever players is willing to continue his career on Turkey's Black Sea coast. While the club can satisfy his financial demands, money is unlikely to be the only factor influencing his decision.Besiktas goes public over Salah's possible arrivalThe latest reports from Turkey suggest Salah has reacted positively to the interest after being informed by his representatives. He is expected to make a final decision after discussing the move with his family. Another attractive aspect is that Trabzonspor are on the verge of qualifying for the UEFA Europa League, needing only to get through the playoff round to reach the league phase.##NAJAVA_MECA_9875857##
