Fabinho Joins Trabzonspor and Reunites With Mohamed Salah in Turkey

Fabinho has officially joined Trabzonspor after leaving Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad, marking the start of a new chapter in his career. The 32-year-old Brazilian midfielder arrived as a free agent after his contract expired and will now reunite with former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah.

Trabzonspor announced Fabinho's arrival on August 24, with the club unveiling footage of the midfielder landing in Turkey on a private jet before being presented in his new colors. His signing adds another high-profile name to a squad that has already made headlines with the arrival of Salah earlier in the summer.

Fabinho and Salah were key figures during Liverpool's successful era under Jurgen Klopp. Together, they helped the English club win major trophies including the Premier League, Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FA Cup before Fabinho left Anfield in 2023.

Salah has already made an impressive start to life at Trabzonspor, scoring twice in the club's 2-1 victory over Basaksehir. The result extended Trabzonspor's unbeaten start to the season, while Salah's arrival had previously sparked huge excitement among supporters, with thousands turning out to welcome the Egyptian star.

Fabinho's arrival now gives Trabzonspor another experienced player with a proven record at the highest level. His reunion with Salah could become an important part of the club's ambitious project, bringing back a partnership that was central to Liverpool's success. The planned addition of Darwin Nunez, meanwhile, will not happen, leaving Salah and Fabinho as the former Liverpool teammates reunited in Turkey.
