‘I can’t believe he is one of us’ – inside Salah’s life in Trabzon

Mohamed Salah has made an immense impact in Turkey since joining Trabzonspor following the early termination of his Liverpool contract. The 34-year-old forward has inspired a massive surge in merchandise sales, tourism, and matchday attendance while leading Trabzonspor's title pursuit. On the pitch, Salah has registered 10 goals and five assists in all competitions across his first 10 appearances, keeping his team closely trailing league leaders Galatasaray.

Salah is earning approximately £14.6m per year under a two-year contract running until 2028, along with 20% of his official merchandise sales. Living in the nearby town of Yomra, the Egyptian international remains focused on high-level football with targets that include the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations and 2030 World Cup, while sources suggest a prospective move to Saudi Arabia may follow the expiration of his deal.
