Mohamed Salah, Trabzonspor and the Turkish Süper Lig
8 November 2026
Mohamed Salah’s arrival at Trabzonspor has helped the Turkish club surpass its previous full year’s merchandise revenue within three months. His signing has also attracted international visitors and strengthened the club’s title challenge.
Salah joined Trabzonspor after leaving Liverpool during the summer, with demand for his shirts quickly exhausting available stock. The club has benefited from increased season-ticket sales and new air connections linking Trabzon with Cairo, Dubai and Riyadh. On the pitch, the Egyptian has contributed ten goals and five assists across all competitions, helping Trabzonspor move within three points of league leaders Galatasaray.
Why It Matters
Salah's commercial influence demonstrates how a major signing can transform a club's revenue, tourism appeal and competitiveness.
