Salah Remains a Free Agent After Agent Denies Besiktas Deal

The agent's public denial signals that talks are private with no agreement reached for the 34‑year‑old forward

Overview

  • Salah is a free agent after mutually ending his nine‑year stint at Liverpool and no club has confirmed a signing.
  • On Friday his agent Ramy Abbas Issa publicly rejected reports of a completed move to Besiktas and said he does not know where Salah will play next season.
  • Multiple outlets had reported a verbal one‑year Besiktas deal, but those claims remain unverified and were directly challenged by the agent.
  • Turkish clubs including Besiktas, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, the Saudi Pro League and MLS sides such as Sporting Kansas City have all been linked to Salah, with Saudi offers reportedly complicated by wage demands.
  • Salah's extensive Liverpool record and recent World Cup exposure make him both a sporting and commercial prize, and his agent says negotiations will be selective as clubs weigh on‑field impact and off‑field revenue.
