"Salah Mania"... Türkiye is obsessed with Mohamed Salah!

The British newspaper "The Sun" revealed that Egyptian star Mohamed Salah is enjoying a more humble and quiet life in Türkiye with his new Turkish team, Trabzonspor. She added that the owner of the charming left hand quickly captured hearts in the city of Trabzon, where people adore and celebrate him very much.

Mohamed Salah (34 years old) had an amazing career with his former team, Liverpool, where he won the English Premier League title twice, the FA Cup once, and the League Cup twice. As well as one title in the Champions League competition.

Mohamed Salah left Liverpool in the summer transfer window and moved to play for Trabzonspor. The Egyptian star’s contract with the Turkish team extends for two seasons.

Quiet life in Türkiye

The Sun newspaper reported that Mohamed Salah enjoys a quieter life away from the pressure and intense media follow-up he was subjected to in England. She added that he also spends time practicing his new passion for chess. The Egyptian star has also recently taken to drinking “ayran,” which is one of the most popular drinks in Türkiye (a drink consisting of yogurt, water, and salt).

In addition, the "Egyptian King" began to practice hiking, exploring natural trails and huge rocks.

The Sun noted that, thanks to Salah, one of the walking paths there turned into a destination resembling a tourist attraction, after fans began arriving to take personal photos on top of the same rock on which the Egyptian star sat in a photo he posted on his Instagram account.

Salah obsession!

In the same context, the Daily Mail explained that Mohamed Salah’s special relationship with the city of Trabzon and its fans began very early. Salah received a "historic" reception after more than 25,000 fans gathered to welcome him. The fans lit up the sky with fireworks and chanted his name with great enthusiasm.

The Daily Mail added that the love of the Trabzon fans reached such a degree that his image became widespread everywhere, from buildings to kitchen utensils and clothes, in a phenomenon called “Salah Mania” (Salah Mania).

Trabzonspor fans hope that Salah will succeed in leading them to the podium at the end of the season. Recently, the Trabzonspor team's seven-game winning streak in all tournaments stopped. The Turkish team suffered a surprise loss at home with an unanswered goal against Freiburg in the European Conference League.
