Franculino, a 22-year-old forward, is now a new player for Trabzonspor after completing his departure from Midtjylland in this final phase of the Turkish market. The agreement was reached on September 3rd, with the club agreeing to pay 17 million euros fixed, in addition to variables, for the Guinean forward.

Franculino joins Trabzonspor to team up with Mohamed Salah

Franculino's signing comes after the player turned down other offers during the market and accepted Trabzonspor's proposal. The deal was finalized after a verbal agreement between the parties and the planned medical examination before formalizing his arrival.

The forward leaves Midtjylland after four seasons in Denmark. During that period, he played 117 games, scored 58 goals, and provided 15 assists, figures that justify the investment made by the Turkish club.

His best season was in 2025/26, when he scored 17 goals in 21 Danish Superliga matches. He was also awarded the top scorer recognition for that season by the Danish competition, despite an injury significantly reducing his participation in the latter part of the championship.

Trabzonspor will pay 17 million euros to Midtjylland in eight installments over five years, with bonuses tied to the agreement. Additionally, the Danish club will retain 15% of the profit from a future sale after accounting for the amounts related to this transaction.

Mohamed Salah gains a new offensive partner

Franculino joins a Trabzonspor that had already secured the arrival of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger signed a two-season contract with the Turkish club in August, as officially announced by the club on August 6th.

Franculino's arrival adds a 22-year-old attacking reference to a squad that also includes Salah and has incorporated players like Fabinho during this transfer window. The forward will now have to compete for playing time with Paul Onuachu, one of the team's alternatives for the number nine position.

The move also impacts the future of Richarlison. Trabzonspor had been in talks for the Tottenham forward, who had agreed to personal terms for a potential exit, but Franculino's signing reduces the Turkish club's need to close another offensive deal.

Franculino's contract is for 4+1 seasons. The player will receive 2.125 million euros gross guaranteed per year for the first four years, with that amount rising to 2.406 million euros in the fifth season if Trabzonspor exercises the option.

With the agreement already announced by Trabzonspor and the player now part of the squad, Franculino will take on his next step in Turkey alongside Mohamed Salah. The club also managed to include him in the Conference League list before the European deadline.
