Overview
- Multiple outlets report Beşiktaş and Mohamed Salah have reached an agreement in principle on personal terms for a one‑season contract worth about €12–12.5m with an option to extend.
- Beşiktaş president Serdal Adali said the club submitted a final official offer and is now waiting for Salah’s decision, with sources saying paperwork and clearance remain outstanding.
- Journalists report a key obstacle was a large commission demand from Salah’s agent that has reportedly been reduced, clearing the main financial roadblock to a deal.
- Coverage says coach Vincenzo Italiano personally promoted Beşiktaş’s sporting project to Salah and that the player prefers to stay in Europe despite interest from Saudi and MLS clubs.
- If completed, the move would mark a rare high‑profile free‑agent transfer into Turkish football and could alter Beşiktaş’s season expectations while work continues to finalise the contract.
