Mohamed Salah is beginning a new chapter with Turkish club Trabzonspor, in a move that has drawn attention because of the winger’s profile and long association with Liverpool. The transfer represents his first change of club in a decade.

At 34, Salah’s decision to leave his established setting for Trabzonspor has been described as a surprise move. The switch places the former Liverpool star in a new league and gives the Turkish club one of the most recognisable players in world football.

The move has prompted interest in why Salah chose Trabzonspor and what the change means for the next stage of his career. His arrival is a significant development for the club as the winger starts life in Turkey after ten years without changing teams.
