Trabzonspor have reportedly sent a proposed contract for Mohamed Salah to his agent Ramy Abbas and plan to complete the transfer this week.
According to Turkish outlet Spor Depo, Trabzonspor delivered the official documents to the forward’s representative.
“The mutual exchange of documents has officially begun,” the outlet said, adding that the parties would “put in the hours to finalize this deal during the week.”
Additionally, several Turkish outlets reported earlier that Trabzonspor had opened formal talks and submitted their first offer. Trabzon-based outlet 61Saat placed the proposal at €17 million annually for two seasons.
A Spor reported a similar salary range of €16 million to €17 million, adding that sponsors would fund part of the package. It also claimed Trabzonspor planned to speak with Salah’s existing commercial partners.
However, beIN Sports Türkiye offered a different account. The broadcaster said that while the projected annual cost, including bonuses, stood between €16 million and €17 million, claims of an agreed two-year contract and special shirt-sale clauses were inaccurate at that stage.
Notably, the new claim emerged hours after Trabzonspor president Ertuğrul Doğan denied that the club had reached an agreement with Salah.
“There is no such agreement,” Doğan told A Spor. “There is no planned flight to Trabzon tomorrow. If there were such a plan, the press and supporters would be informed.”
When asked directly whether he had spoken with Salah, Doğan declined to answer, “I do not want to talk about that,” he said. “As of now, there is no agreement.”
Trabzonspor entered the race after Besiktas paused, and now seem to have given up on their negotiations with the Egypt captain.
KingFut previously reported that the Istanbul club would not improve their last proposal following disagreements over commission, image rights and commercial revenue. Besiktas sporting director Önder Özen said the existing offer remained available but warned that the club would pursue alternatives.
Abbas said earlier in July that Salah’s next destination remained unknown but could become clear soon. He also rejected suggestions that the player’s camp was holding unnecessary talks to attract publicity.
