Besiktas goes public over Salah’s possible arrival

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have been showing off for years by signing big names, while Besiktas watched enviously. Since winning the title in 2021, they have not come close to repeating that success, but this year they have decided to try to change that — and become a more competitive side. They have already brought in Alexander Nubel from Bayern Munich and Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard, but the biggest moves are yet to come. Besiktas have set their sights on two major stars, two free agents that many clubs would love to sign — Mohamed Salah and Dušan Vlahović. However, their attempts to bring them in have so far been unsuccessful, mainly because of the players’ and their representatives’ high financial demands.🚨🚨| JUST IN: Mohamed Salah has 24 hours to accept 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑 from Beşiktaş. ⏳🇹🇷Free agent Salah has been offered €15M/year over 2 years by the Turkish club.{@KartalRecord} pic.twitter.com/MtA2f6qGpp— Goals Side (@goalsside) July 27, 2026 With new information about both players eme..
