Trabzonspor's decision to hold a signing ceremony for Mohamed Salah in front of 35,000 fans was a deliberate move to show the Egyptian forward the love and support of the city's fans. The city of Trabzon has something special, with its fans offering a unique experience, according to the club's president.
The deal for Salah is a significant coup for Trabzonspor, who have achieved several notable results in the Super Lig under the current leadership. The club has also won the Turkish Cup and is now looking to guide their team into the Europa League. The president wants to balance the talents of young players with experienced names, and believes that Salah is a great example of this.
The initial target for season ticket sales was 25,000, but the club now expects to exceed 30,000, with nearly 70% of Salah's salary this year covered by season ticket sales made within the first four or five days after the announcement of his arrival. Major companies have been calling the club, looking to get involved in the excitement surrounding Salah's arrival.
