Mohamed Salah's move to Trabzonspor came as a surprise to Jamie Carragher, as the former Liverpool centre-back believes the Egyptian is too good for the Turkish Super Lig. Having previously been linked with several Saudi Pro League clubs, Salah has joined a side that finished third in the Super Lig last season, eight points adrift of champions Galatasaray and five behind runners-up Fenerbahce. They won their most recent Super Lig title in 2019-20, though the signing of Salah will put them among the favourites to claim the crown in 2026-27. "I never believed he was going to go to Saudi, because number one, he's too good for that. In Opta's league power rankings, the Turkish Super Lig is ranked as the 14th strongest league in world football, below the English Championship, the Polish Ekstraklasa and the Japanese J1 League.
