Betting has been suspended on Mohamed Salah's next club with Turkish side Trabzonspor closing in on the high-profile capture of the former Liverpool star.
The future of the Egyptian icon has been one of the hottest topics of the summer, with a plethora of clubs around the world hoping to entice the supremely talented attacker.
However, it appears as though Trabzonsor have won the race with reputable media outlets suggesting that an official announcement is imminent.
In turn, we have suspended betting on the 34-year-old's potential next port of call, as Steve Freeth explains.
"Mohamed Salah's next destination has been a popular topic over the last few months," he said on Tuesday.
We have seen betting interest in the likes of Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Juventus, the MLS, and Saudi Arabia; however, the market is now indicating that a move to Trabzonspor is extremely close.

It was an emotional time on Merseyside when the Reds confirmed Salah's exit earlier this year following an illustrious nine-year spell with the club.
The 'Egyptian King' departed Liverpool on a free transfer, despite his contract running through to the summer of 2027, and interest in the frontman was, as expected, incredibly vast.
There had been an expectation that Salah's playing career would draw to a close in the affluent Saudi Pro League, but it's Turkish clubs Trabzonspor and Besiktas who led the betting to secure his signature.
Besiktas fans made their wishes known when chanting the Egyptian's name at the unveiling of new addition Leandro Trossard, and the club reportedly made their first offer to sign the forward on a free transfer.
However, their Turkish top-flight rivals stole a march with a hugely enticing contract, one that Salah appears to have been unable to resist.
