Mohamed Salah's Lawyer Denies Rumours of Verbal Agreement to Join Besiktas Amid Transfer Speculation
Mohamed Salah's lawyer, Ramy Abass, has denied reports that the former Liverpool forward is close to joining Besiktas. Journalist Santi Aouna claimed Besiktas had reached a verbal agreement to sign the Egyptian forward on a one-year contract with the option of a further 12 months, worth around €12 million including bonuses. However, Abass expressed uncertainty over Salah's next destination, saying he personally does not know where the player will play next season.
Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncouglu has corroborated Aouna's report, but added that negotiations between Salah and Besiktas are ongoing, with contract duration and image rights still to be agreed upon. Besiktas are seeking to strengthen their squad to challenge Turkish league defending champions Galatasaray, having recently completed a deal for Leandro Trossard from Arsenal.
Salah announced his decision to leave Liverpool in March after falling out with former head coach Arne Slot, despite having a year left on his contract. The 31-year-old had a difficult campaign last season, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 41 games. Salah has also been linked with a move to Major League Soccer, with Sporting Kansas City reportedly considering a move for the veteran forward.
