It’s not historical standing.
It’s not the level of competition."Turkey has the NINTH-best league in Europe according to UEFA’s coefficient rankings. Trabzonspor haven’t won the league since 2021/22.
They’re in the Europa League qualifiers and have to get through a playoff still."£140k a week is comparatively decent, but Salah could earn three or four times that in Saudi Arabia. But, why Trabzonspor?"It's unclear whether Salah will give his final decision to Trabzonspor or not, but it is a move that has certainly raised the eyebrows of plenty of Liverpool fans, who perhaps believe a move elsewhere could've been on the cards.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Mohamed SalahLiverpool FC
