Brazilian midfielder Fabinho signed a two-year contract with Trabzonspor on Monday, the Turkish club announced, where his former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah has made an impressive start.
The 32-year-old was a free agent after three seasons at Saudi club Al-Ittihad, and will earn 4 million euros ($4.66 million) per year the Black Sea coast club said, a far cry from the 17 million euros they will pay Salah.
Fabinho was one of the key figures behind Monaco’s French league title in 2017 before joining Liverpool the following year.
With the Reds, he won the Champions League in 2019, the Premier League in 2020, and the FA Cup in 2022 as one of the cornerstones of Jurgen Klopp’s system.
The Egyptian forward, who was welcomed as a hero in Trabzon in early August scored twice on Sunday in his first Turkish league start.
Trabzonspor finished third in the Turkish top-flight last season and take on Hungary’s Ferencvaros on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa League playoff tie, trailing 1-0.
Palmeiras agree to sell Allan to Manchester City
Palmeiras have reached an agreement to transfer winger Allan to Manchester City for 40 million euros ($46.6 million), a source at the Brazilian club told AFP on Monday.
The 22-year-old Allan is a product of the club’s prolific youth academy, which has recently exported players such as Estevao (Chelsea) and Endrick (Real Madrid) to Europe.
According to the source, Palmeiras and City have reached a “verbal agreement” on the sale, which has yet to be formalized.
Allan made his debut for the Sao Paulo-based club last year.
This season, he has scored four goals and contributed three assists in 21 matches in the 2026 Brasileirao — the country’s top football league, which Palmeiras are currently leading after 24 rounds.
Allan has also scored one goal and chipped in with two assists in eight appearances in the Copa Libertadores, with Palmeiras into the quarter finals.
