Besiktas Makes Final Offer for Mohamed Salah
Besiktas have pushed their chips to the middle of the table for Mohamed Salah – and now they wait.
Club president Serdal Adali has confirmed that the Istanbul side have made what he calls their “final official offer” to the former Liverpool star, placing the fate of one of the window’s most intriguing sagas firmly in the Egyptian’s hands.
Now the decision lies with the player
Adali lifted the curtain on the chase in an interview with Turkish outlet Ortacizgi, outlining a negotiation that has been running quietly in the background for some time.
“As has been published in the media, we have for some time been conducting negotiations with Salah and his representatives regarding the details of the deal,” he said, detailing a process that has moved through multiple phases and revisions.
The talks, he explained, have now reached their decisive point.
“In the final stage, we discussed the demands of the player and his representatives from all angles, and after mutual negotiations, we submitted our final official offer. We also asked them to inform us of their decision within a short period.”
No brinkmanship. No public pressure. Just a clear message: Besiktas have gone as far as they are prepared to go.
“While our transfer work continues at full force, this is the current situation regarding Salah,” Adali continued. “We have assessed the amendments requested since the start of the negotiations, in line with the club’s interests, and we have submitted our final offer. Now the decision lies with the player.”
One-year deal on the table
Salah has been consistently linked with a move to Besiktas during the current window, his future the subject of intense speculation across Europe and the Middle East.
Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, widely regarded as a reliable voice on transfers, reports that Besiktas have already reached an agreement on personal terms with Salah and his agent. According to those claims, the proposal is a one-season contract, with total earnings rising to as much as €12 million.
That figure underlines how serious Besiktas are. For a club looking to muscle in again at the top of Turkish and European competition, landing a global superstar, even on a short-term deal, would be a statement of intent.
Now, with the numbers set and the offer described as final, Besiktas can do little more than wait for an answer from Salah – and see whether this bold move turns into one of the most eye-catching signings of the summer or just another near-miss in a restless market.
