Mohamed Salah had been in talks with Besiktas over a move to the Turkish club but one of their senior figures has delivered a damning update on his potential transfer move<\/p>\n
Besiktas have claimed they’ve walked away from talks to sign Mohamed Salah despite several meetings with the former Liverpool man.<\/p>\n
The Egyptian is a free agent after being allowed to leave Anfield a year before the end of his contract and, now 34, the forward is looking for a new club, with the Turkish side believing they were leading the race.<\/p>\n
Salah had been the subject of approach from Besiktas with the club’s president Serdal Adali telling Turkish media they were awaiting a final decision, but director Onder Ozen has claimed they have hit a roadblock with communications coming to a stand still.<\/p>\n
He believes Salah’s representatives are in talks with another club but insists their final offer remains on the table if they want to make the move happen.<\/p>\n
Ozen told Turkish media: “We contacted Salah, this also involved a financing model. Salah is a global star, a respected athlete. We met with Salah three times before the financial part of the negotiations was discussed.<\/p>\n
“Up to this point, everything was smooth. When the financial side began, the initial smoothness slowed down from July 21st onwards. Requests began to arrive that would both disrupt the flow of information and create a deadlock in the financial process. I can assume that a respected athlete like Salah was unaware of this.<\/p>\n
“The club has a policy, and it cannot deviate from that policy, our President has very clearly identified his position and has stayed there. I don’t have a chance to say yes or no, Besiktas’s offer, made under its own terms, is clear. If a response comes to this offer, it can be evaluated.<\/p>\n
“But Besiktas will not make another offer. They said they are also in talks with another club, maybe they will get a result from there. The last offer we made to Salah is the final point that does not harm Besiktas’s club identity.”<\/p>\n
Besiktas have just signed Leandro Trossard from Arsenal as they look to bolster their ranks ahead of the upcoming season. Whilst being competitive they’ve not claimed the Turkish title since 2021 with Galatasaray the dominant force currently.<\/p>\n
Salah will not be without options has long been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia with Liverpool turning down lucrative offers in the past whilst the MLS also remains a possibility if the ex-Red wants to see out his playing days in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
