It is no longer just a sports deal.. Erdogan enters the negotiations line with Salah - Kooora. The Turkish newspaper "Zaman" reported that Salah's transfer deal to the Turkish league is no longer just a sports file in the hands of the Besiktas administration, but has become closely followed by prominent figures in the country.

The newspaper explained that President Erdogan personally intervened and asked Besiktas club president, Serdal Adali, for a detailed report on the progress of negotiations with Mohamed Salah, stressing that he personally follows all the details of the proposed process for his transfer to Istanbul.

Details

In a remarkable development, Turkish press reports revealed direct intervention by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Besiktas Club’s negotiations to contract with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.

The Turkish newspaper Sözcü reported that Erdogan received a briefing from Besiktas club president, Serdal Adli, regarding the deal, which is considered important in terms of promoting Turkey, noting that he was informed of the progress of the negotiations and their developments.

On the other hand, the deal faces competition from clubs in the United States and Saudi Arabia, as it was reported that the Saudi club Al-Ittihad is monitoring Salah’s position, but the completion of his transfer depends on the final decision of French winger Moussa Diaby regarding his future with the team.

A Turkish report revealed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is following developments in negotiations related to the transfer of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah to Besiktas club.

The newspaper added that a step taken by the club sparked speculation from fans, after it decided to give newcomer Ouattara the number 20 shirt instead of the number 11 that he was wearing after joining from Monaco, which is the number that was associated with Mohamed Salah during his career with Liverpool, which observers considered an additional indication that the Egyptian national team captain was close to moving to the team.

Turkish club officials believe that this indirect government support may contribute to overcoming the huge financial obstacles that hinder the completion of a deal of this size, in light of Besiktas’ ambition, which is not limited to local competition only, but also extends to the pursuit of continental dominance.

In the same context, the newspaper quoted Turkish journalist and broadcaster Erdogan Aktas as confirming that the Egyptian striker will arrive in Istanbul next Wednesday to finalize his contract with Besiktas.

Despite this interest, Turkish reports indicate that Besiktas still has an advantage in the race to contract with Salah, in light of the player’s desire to experience living in Istanbul, with negotiations continuing to reach a final agreement in the coming days.
