Mohamed Salah has arrived in Trabzon after completing his medical and signing a contract with Trabzonspor, ahead of his public presentation.

The Egypt captain landed at Trabzon Airport on Wednesday evening alongside club president Ertuğrul Doğan. Thousands of supporters gathered to welcome Salah, completing a day that began with a separate reception at Istanbul Atatürk Airport. betsport24.es

Trabzonspor had arranged free public transport for the Trabzon welcome and asked supporters to limit the use of flares to avoid disrupting airport operations.

The 34-year-old travelled from Istanbul after passing his medical examinations at Acıbadem Maslak Hospital. He then signed his contract at Doğan’s office before boarding a private plane to the Black Sea city.

“We signed in my office a short time ago. Now we will fly to Trabzon together,” Doğan told Tivibu Spor. The president said the parties completed the transfer within four or five days of entering advanced negotiations.

Trabzonspor subsequently referred to Salah as their “new signing,” confirming that Thursday’s event will be a public presentation rather than the contractual signing.

Salah first arrived in Istanbul from the Greek island of Mykonos shortly before midday. He came out of the General Aviation Terminal wearing Trabzonspor’s claret-and-blue shirt and greeted hundreds of waiting supporters.

The former Liverpool forward applauded the crowd and led a traditional Turkish football chant before leaving in Doğan’s car. Trabzonspor also published footage of Salah wearing a No.61 shirt aboard the plane.

“Trabzon, are you ready? I can hear you. See you very soon. Everywhere is Trabzon,” he said.

Trabzonspor have not yet disclosed Salah’s complete financial package or officially confirmed the reported two-year duration.

Doğan said the club would publish the contract terms through Turkey’s Public Disclosure Platform on Wednesday evening or Thursday.

He previously confirmed that the agreement gives Salah a percentage of revenue from shirt sales. However, he rejected reports that the player’s share would reach 20%.

A similar commercial demand contributed to the collapse of Salah’s negotiations with Beşiktaş, as KingFut previously reported.

Doğan also revealed that Trabzonspor first contacted Salah’s representative during the World Cup. The talks accelerated when agent Ramy Abbas returned to the club after discussions with other teams ended.

Salah joins on a free transfer after ending his nine-year Liverpool career with 257 goals in 442 appearances and eight major trophies.

Doha, Qatar: The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and the Turkish Automobile Sports Federation (TOSFED) formalised a landmark five-year cooperation agreement, marking a significant step forward in the shared ambition of both organisations to elevate motorsport on the international stage.

The agreement, signed yesterday in Turkiye, lays the groundwork for structured knowledge transfer, joint development programmes, and ongoing collaboration across sporting, technical, safety, and sustainability matters.

Both QMMF, which serves as the legal and operational entity of Lusail International Circuit (LIC) in Qatar, and TOSFED, the sole recognised national governing body for motorsport in Türkiye recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), bring decades of experience in hosting world-class motorsport events and developing national talent. The agreement signals a commitment to pooling that expertise in a sustained and structured manner.

Central to the five-year agreement is a dedicated focus on knowledge sharing, encompassing professional expertise in race operations, safety standards, and sustainable practices. The collaboration also prioritises the development of drivers and officials alongside the coordination of international events. To facilitate these objectives and ensure the partnership yields concrete results for both organizations, a joint committee will be formed to establish a comprehensive agenda and strategic timeline.

The agreement also opens the door to collaboration on major international events. Both Qatar and Turkiye have established themselves as premier destinations for elite motorsport championships.

On the occasion of the signing of the partnership agreement, the motorsport leadership from both countries commented on the occasion.

“This agreement reflects the kind of partnership that moves our sport forward. Qatar and Turkiye share a deep commitment to motorsport excellence, and by combining our knowledge and experience, we can create lasting value, not just for our own federations, but for the broader motorsport community. We look forward to building something meaningful with TOSFED over the years ahead,” said President of QMMF and the Lusail International Circuit Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai.

TOSFED President Eren Uclertopragı said: “Qatar is a country that successfully hosts major global events such as Formula 1, MotoGP, and the World Endurance Championship (WEC). We aim to establish joint official training and exchange programs tailored for these types of high-profile organizations. Additionally, we look forward to developing joint events where Turkish and Qatari athletes can compete together, alongside launching impactful social responsibility projects.”

Chief Executive Officer of the Lusail International Circuit Abdulaziz Ali Al Mohannadi said: “Lusail International Circuit has always stood for more than a world-class race weekend. It stands for a vision of what motorsport can achieve when the right people and the right institutions work together. This partnership with TOSFED is an extension of that vision, and we are proud to be building these bridges at an international level.”

For his part, Executive Director of the QMMF Amro Al Hamad said: “The cooperation between QMMF and TOSFED opens up real and practical opportunities for both organisations to grow. Through joint programmes, shared expertise, and a genuine exchange of ideas, we can develop motorsport in ways that benefit athletes, officials, and fans alike. This is the kind of collaboration that creates a lasting legacy.”
