Mohamed Salah expected to move to Saudi Arabia or the United States after leaving Liverpool, but Trabzonspor completely surprised everyone with this transfer coup. Being able to bring on board one of the best and best paid footballers in the world is no small feat. But how did the Turkish club manage to do it?
The answer lies largely in the skill of the club's president, Ertugrul Dogan, who used the passion of the fans to his advantage. "We had a meeting with Salah and his agent in London and we explained to them our project, what we want to do with the team and how we want to win trophies in the future. But obviously the contract we proposed to him, 17 million euros net per year, played a fundamental role in this negotiation. Salah is a footballer who deserves to be paid so much and we were able to make him this offer. But, as I said, it wasn't just the money. Salah is a footballer who has a lot fans in our country and especially now that we are reigning champions and we have a very competitive team this year too, we want to win in Europe too. It was very important to make Salah understand how important it was for us to have him in our team and how much love he will receive from our fans.
The love and passion of our fans is something unique and special. We have a very, very large fan base in Egypt and we wanted to make Salah understand that coming to play here in Turkey wasn't just about playing for a Turkish team, but he would continue to receive a lot of love and support from his Egyptian fans.
Dogan then continued by explaining how Trabzonspor is a team on the rise and which aims to win in Europe too: "Our history tells us that we are a great team, we have won many championships, many cups, but in the last twenty years we have lost this identity a bit. In recent years, however, thanks also to the support of the fans, we have returned to being a team that wins. And we want to continue winning and we want to add European trophies too.”
What happens now
With Salah now part of Trabzonspor, the club is expected to aim to win trophies at both domestic and European levels. The team, already reigning champions, aims to consolidate its position and compete in international competitions. Furthermore, the club could seek to further strengthen the squad, taking advantage of the media attention and enthusiasm generated by Salah's arrival.
