Mohamed Salah Set to Sign for Trabzonspor After Liverpool Exit
Mohamed Salah is a very famous soccer player from Egypt.
For nine years, he played for a big English team called Liverpool and scored lots of goals, winning many trophies.
Now he is leaving Liverpool to play for a new team in Turkey called Trabzonspor.
When he arrived at the airport in Istanbul, hundreds of happy fans were waiting to see him.
He wore the new team's burgundy and blue colors and chanted with the supporters.
The team's boss says he will sign his contract at a special ceremony on Thursday.
Last season, Salah did not score as many goals as before and had a disagreement with his coach.
Now he is starting a new adventure in Turkey, and his new team finished third in their league last year and will play in Europe.
Everyone is excited to see how he plays for his new team.
Mohamed Salah arrived in Istanbul wearing Trabzonspor's burgundy and blue kit and was greeted by hundreds of fans at Ataturk Airport.
Trabzonspor chairman Ertugrul Dogan confirmed negotiations for a free transfer, with a signing ceremony expected on Thursday in Trabzon.
Salah is leaving Liverpool after nine years, having scored 257 goals in 442 appearances (one report cites 255 in 435) and winning two Premier League titles and a Champions League.
His final season saw reduced output of seven goals and seven assists in 27 league matches and a public disagreement with then-manager Arne Slot.
Contract details have not been disclosed; Salah had previously been close to joining Besiktas before talks stalled over financial and image-rights demands.

President of Turkish club Trabzonspor
“I had a meeting with Salah. I also met with his agent. It was a very professional, respectful meeting where both sides understood each other and there was no difficulty. We met about 10 days ago. As of yesterday, everything is clear. There's nothing to say about Salah. He's a world star. We needed a player like him. I think it will be great. May it be beneficial for our club.”
