Former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho is on the verge of an intriguing reunion with Mohamed Salah after Trabzonspor hinted at the Brazilian’s imminent arrival in Turkey.
The Turkish Super Lig club posted an image of the 32-year-old Fabinho wearing Trabzonspor colours while sitting aboard a private jet, sending supporters into a frenzy over the anticipated deal.
The Brazilian also appeared to confirm the move with a short message that immediately caught attention.
“A familiar face is waiting for me in Trabzon,” said Fabinho in the Trabzonspor social media post.
That familiar face is Salah, the former Liverpool forward who completed his own move to Trabzonspor earlier this month.
Fabinho left Liverpool in 2023 after five hugely successful years at Anfield, joining Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad.
The defensive midfielder has since become a free agent, paving the way for his next chapter in European football.
Now, Trabzonspor appear ready to add the experienced Brazilian to their squad as they look to build a side capable of challenging strongly in the Turkish top flight.
The potential reunion with Salah adds another layer to the move.
The pair spent several seasons together at Liverpool and were key members of the team that won major honours, including the Premier League and Champions League.
Salah has wasted little time reminding Trabzonspor supporters why they were so excited to secure his signature.
After failing to score in his first two matches, the Egyptian finally exploded into life on Sunday with a decisive brace against Istanbul Basaksehir.
The 34-year-old opened the scoring after just eight minutes before returning after the interval to strike again in the 48th minute.
His second goal proved to be the winner as Trabzonspor secured a 2-1 home victory and collected their first three points of the new season.
It was exactly the response Salah needed after a frustrating start in Turkey.
Salah joined Trabzonspor on a two-year contract after reaching an agreement to terminate his Liverpool deal 12 months earlier than originally planned.
His arrival immediately became one of the biggest stories surrounding the Turkish Super Lig, and Fabinho’s potential signing could take the club’s recruitment strategy to another level.
The Turkish side have already attracted considerable attention with the presence of high-profile names, with Manchester United loanee Andre Onana also starting in the victory over Basaksehir.
Fabinho would bring another layer of experience, tactical intelligence and defensive strength to the squad.
For Salah and Fabinho, Trabzonspor represents an unexpected new chapter after their memorable years together at Liverpool.
They are no longer chasing Premier League titles at Anfield, but the ambition appears to remain.
Salah has already delivered his first big performance for the club. Now, Trabzonspor supporters are waiting for Fabinho to complete the reunion.
From Liverpool glory to a fresh Turkish adventure, Salah and Fabinho could soon be sharing the pitch again.
