Speculation surrounding Liverpool star Mohamed Salah’s potential move to Beşiktaş has drawn significant media attention, alongside warnings regarding the financial and sporting risks of such an acquisition. Reports indicated that negotiations reached a delicate phase due to high financial demands, including salary expectations estimated around $15 million annually, image rights, and representative commissions.

Additionally, recent statements attributed to club management indicate that the transfer file has been shelved for the time being, while claims regarding other targets—such as Wilfred Ndidi moving to Saudi Arabia—were also dismissed.
