Mohamed Salah: Fourth Egyptian in Turkish Club History

Egyptian international Mohamed Salah is preparing to enter a new chapter in his professional career, as he is close to transferring to Trabzonspor in Turkey, becoming the fourth Egyptian player to don the club's jersey, following three predecessors who have played in Turkish leagues.

Three Egyptian players have previously donned the Trabzonspor jersey: Ayman Abdelaziz, Sayed Moawad, and Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet.

Ayman Abdel Aziz was the first Egyptian to wear the team's jersey, having played for Trabzonspor during the 2007-2008 season. He was followed by Sayed Moawad in 2008.

Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet was the last Egyptian to represent the club, having joined Trabzonspor in the summer of 2022. He left a clear impact during his time with the team before departing in 2025.

If his transfer is officially completed, Mohamed Salah will be the fourth Egyptian player in Trabzonspor's history, in a deal that will be one of the most significant moves in the club's history, considering the prominent status of the Egypt national team captain globally.

Trabzonspor's interest in Salah comes as the Turkish club aims to strengthen its squad with a top-tier player. The deal would give Turkish fans the chance to see one of the most prominent stars in Egyptian and global football don the team's jersey.

Thus, Salah may continue the Egyptian presence at Trabzonspor, which began with Ayman Abdelaziz, followed by Sayed Moawad and Trezeguet, before it becomes the turn of the Egyptian national team captain, should the deal be completed in the coming days.
