Besiktas Denies Mohamed Salah Transfer Rumors
The Istanbul club issued a strong statement after reports claimed that Mohamed Salah had agreed personal terms to join Besiktas.
Besiktas described the allegations as “purely products of imagination” and accused Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu of repeatedly publishing fabricated transfer stories involving the club.
The statement read: “The posts made by journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu on digital platforms regarding our club’s transfer activities and the alleged transfer conditions are purely products of imagination.”
It added that the journalist has been misleading the public for an extended period by spreading news that bears no relation to reality concerning Besiktas’ transfer dealings.
The club urged fans to rely only on information disseminated through its official channels and to disregard any unverified news.
Sabuncuoğlu, who has over two million followers on 𝕏, was the first to claim that Salah had reached an agreement with Besiktas.
Salah is currently a free agent after leaving Liverpool at the end of the last season and recently represented Egypt at the FIFA World Cup, where the Pharaohs were knocked out by Argentina.
