The president of Turkish FC Trabzonspor, Ertuğrul Doğan, commented on negotiations with Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, the former Liverpool FC winger, regarding a potential free transfer during the current summer transfer window.
Doğan told the Turkish newspaper Fanatik, on Wednesday, “We can’t talk about Mohamed Salah; he’s a global star. We needed a player like him.”
He continued, “It would be a fantastic signing. We hope he will be beneficial to our club. Trabzonspor’s success has been making headlines across Turkey and Europe, and young players have started choosing our club”.
Doğan emphasized, “We’re trying to send a message to everyone that we can bring any player to our team.”
Regarding his negotiations with Salah, he replied, “We rushed to finalize the deal as soon as other teams withdrew. I held a meeting with Mohamed Salah and his agent. It was a very professional and respectful meeting; both sides understood each other, and there were no difficulties.”
He continued, “Our meeting lasted about ten days, and everything became clear yesterday.”
