The 34-year-old arrived in Turkey on Wednesday to complete his move to Trabzonspor, ending weeks of speculation over his future following his departure from Liverpool.
"For our new signing Mohamed Salah, a signing ceremony will be held at Papara Park on Thursday, Aug. 6, at 1930," the club said on its X account.
"We invite all our fans to our home, Papara Park, wearing their new season jerseys to witness history and take the first step of this unforgettable journey together."
Reports said Salah is expected to sign a two-year contract with the Turkish side after ending a nine-year spell at Liverpool.
He scored 257 goals in 442 appearances for the Merseyside club and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in its history.
However, his final season at Anfield proved disappointing as his form declined sharply and he had a public falling-out with then-manager Arne Slot.
Salah scored 12 goals in all competitions last season after netting 34 in the previous campaign.
He announced in March that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season despite having one year remaining on the contract he signed in 2025.
Trabzonspor, seven-time Turkish champions, finished third in the Super Lig last season.
