Mo Salah could reunite with ex-Liverpool star as Trabzonspor prepare for huge transfer

Mo Salah could play alongside a former Liverpool teammate at Trabzonspor.

The Egyptian hero just arrived in Turkey to a raucous reception from the fans who can’t wait to see him grace the field at the Şenol Güneş Sports Complex.

Trabzonspor wants Darwin Nunez to join Mo Salah

Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah played alongside one another at Anfield. And now the pair could reunite at Trabzonspor.

With the Süper Lig side making waves in the transfer market, a major deal could be reached to continue bolstering their frontline.

According to Spor Depor’s Resat Can Ozbudak, Trabzonspor is extremely interested in securing the services of Nunez, who currently plays his football for Al-Hilal.

WOW: ‘Steven Gerrard was more complete’ than Francesco Totti, says ex-Liverpool star

The journalist posted on X: “[The club] has increased its pressure regarding Darwin Nunez.”

The talented player has failed to set the world alight in the Saudi Pro League, making just 24 appearances, none of which came during February-May because he was ineligible.

Consequently, he arrived at the FIFA World Cup 2026 in North America with a lack of fitness, featuring in a Uruguay squad that disappointingly exited in the group stage of the competition.

While rumours swirled that he could make a Liverpool return, moves to either Trabzonspor or Besiktas now seem the most likely options.

What number will Mo Salah wear at Trabzonspor?

Having spent almost a decade at Liverpool, Salah is excited for the next chapter.

With Turkish supporters incredibly passionate about the sport, the legend is set to make a plethora of new memories.

And while he was pictured en route to Istanbul with a number 61 shirt, he’ll actually wear the number 10.
