Fabinho reunites with ex-Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah as Trabzonspor move confirmed
The Brazilian midfielder joined the Turkish club as a free agent after leaving Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad this European summer. Trabzonspor confirmed the signing on Monday after teasing his arrival with a video showing Fabinho wearing the club's shirt as he landed on a private jet.
Fabinho immediately referenced Salah when discussing his move.
"A familiar face is waiting for me in Trabzon," he said in a Trabzonspor social media post.
Fabinho, 32, spent five seasons alongside Salah at Liverpool, helping the club win the Premier League and Champions League among other major trophies.
Salah, 34, joined Trabzonspor earlier this month and has already made a strong start. The Egyptian scored both goals in a 2-1 victory over Basaksehir, taking his tally to two goals as Trabzonspor remained unbeaten after their opening two matches of the season.
The club had urged supporters to turn out in large numbers to welcome Fabinho, saying: "Fabinho is coming! We await all our fans at Trabzon Airport at 11:30 AM for the big meeting and to welcome the Brazilian star."
Salah received a huge reception when he arrived in Trabzon, with reports suggesting around 25,000 supporters gathered to welcome the former Liverpool forward. Fans lit flares and chanted his name.
Salah described the reception as "incredible" and said he could not put the amount of love shown to him into words.
The reunion in Turkey will not include another former Liverpool team-mate. Darwin Nunez's proposed move to Trabzonspor collapsed earlier this transfer window, with the striker instead set to join Al Diriyah on loan from Al Hilal.
