Mohamed Salah has emerged as the centre of transfer speculation, with Besiktas reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to bring the Egyptian captain to Turkey. According to Turkish media, the Istanbul club's board has accelerated talks with Salah and his representative Ramy Abbas, with optimism that a deal could materialize within days.
This pursuit is far from new. Besiktas first attempted to sign the Liverpool forward in 2014 when he was at Chelsea, but Abbas redirected his client to Roma instead, leaving the Turkish club disappointed. Now, more than a decade later, Besiktas have reopened discussions with one of world football's elite performers, sensing a genuine opportunity to finally complete the transfer.
Final Stages of Negotiations
Club president Serdal Adali is leading the charge, having placed a final offer before Salah and his agent. Key details of the agreement appear settled, though some contractual clauses remain subject to discussion. Multiple parties involved in the transfer are expected to arrive in Istanbul on Monday for crucial concluding meetings designed to resolve outstanding matters.
The momentum surrounding these talks has accelerated significantly in recent weeks. Both sides have already agreed on several major terms, suggesting genuine progress rather than exploratory dialogue. Should Monday's meetings proceed smoothly, Besiktas could announce one of the most eye-catching signings in their history—a deal that would see them land a player who has scored over 150 goals for Liverpool and captains the Egyptian national team.
The resolution of this 12-year saga now rests on the upcoming days, with the Turkish giants hoping to finally land their long-coveted prize.
