Besiktas have reportedly made an offer to Mohamed Salah, as the Egyptian captain reduced his initial €15 million annual salary demand.
According to reports, Salah’s representatives arrived in Istanbul to continue talks with the Super Lig club.
Besiktas is said to have made its first formal approach to Salah’s camp. According to Turkish journalist Efecan Öztaş (via King Fut) the meeting between the two sides “went positively,” adding that the 34-year-old is “inclined to wearing a jersey in Turkey.”
Earlier reports placed Salah’s initial annual salary demand at €15 million. His wage request represented the main obstacle to a deal. Both sides continued talks to reduce the total cost.
The latest claims contradict comments from Besiktas president Serdal Adalı three days earlier. On July 14, Adalı dismissed the reports linking Salah with the club.

Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, provided an earlier update on Friday. He did not identify any potential destination.
“We still do not know where Mohamed will play next season, but we may know very soon,” Abbas wrote.
Salah most recently represented Egypt at the 2026 World Cup. He recorded one goal and two assists across five appearances.
Egypt reached the round of 16 before losing 3-2 to Argentina. The Pharaohs had taken a two-goal lead against the defending champions.
