Trabzonspor considers extending Mohamed Salah’s contract despite it running until 2028

Trabzonspor plans to open talks on extending Mohamed Salah’s contract in the coming period, according to Turkish media reports citing Haber61. The move follows the club management’s conviction that keeping the player is important, although his current contract runs until 2028.

The move comes after Salah helped Trabzonspor beat Alanyaspor two goals to nil in the Turkish league, scoring again after failing to find the net in three consecutive matches across all competitions.

A BBC report said Salah’s arrival had boosted fan interest in the team’s matches and brought commercial and tourism benefits. The report pointed to new flights connecting Trabzon with Cairo, Dubai and Riyadh, and to a family of ten Egyptians travelling to watch the team play Freiburg in the UEFA Conference League.

According to the report, Salah earns an estimated annual salary of around £14.6 million and receives 20% of revenue from sales of official products bearing his name. It also said he lives in the town of Yomra and has a security team and a personal chef.

Salah’s future after his current contract ends has not yet been settled. The report quoted sources in the Middle East as saying that a move to the Saudi league in the summer of 2028, when he will be 36, is a possibility, while the player continues his career with Trabzonspor and prepares for upcoming commitments with the Egypt national team.
