Beşiktaş Halts Mohamed Salah Transfer Over Financial and Legal Concerns

Beşiktaş JK Mohamed Salah transfer illegal transactions financial limit

Beşiktaş JK’s football director Onder Ozen confirmed that the club met Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah three times while exploring a transfer that would have cost roughly €40 million over two seasons. Negotiations stalled because the financing model did not fit the club’s policy against illegal transactions and excessive agent commissions, which Turkish law caps at 10 percent. The club refused to meet the agent’s demands, citing its principle of not engaging in unlawful deals.

International media outlets in Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Egypt and elsewhere reported the club’s decision, highlighting the financial and legal obstacles that stopped the move. After the failed Salah pursuit, Beşiktaş turned its attention to Argentine winger Matías Soulé, whose Italian club Roma set a €35 million price tag, underscoring the Turkish side’s ongoing transfer challenges.
