Trabzonspor Targets Fabinho After Signing Salah and Nearing Núñez Deal

Turkish club Trabzonspor has announced its intent to reinforce the squad after sealing a deal with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah and edging close to signing Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez. The club now eyes former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho as the next target.
Potential deal details
Reports indicate that Fabinho, who left Saudi side Al‑Ittihad at the end of last season, is an attractive option for Trabzonspor’s management under coach Fatih Tekke. The Brazilian midfielder is a free agent, and negotiations are underway with his representatives to bring him to Turkey.
The club faces a hurdle as it has already reached the quota for foreign players, meaning it must await the outcome of the remaining summer transfer window activities before finalising Fabinho’s move.
Player background
Fabinho featured for Liverpool from 2018 to 2023, appearing in 219 matches across all competitions and scoring 11 goals. His possible arrival adds a new dimension to Trabzonspor’s project, which aims to assemble a lineup of former Liverpool stars.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah continues to settle his family in Turkey after joining Trabzonspor, underscoring the club’s ambition to build a strong Arab presence in its ranks.
