The source said in exclusive statements to "Yalla Koura": "Beşiktaş still have the best chance of signing Mohamed Salah, although negotiations with his agent Rami Abbas have encountered some setbacks. Salah is currently on vacation with his family and has completely distanced himself from the negotiations file, leaving the matter entirely to his agent".
He added: "There is an investment fund in Turkey operating in a manner similar to what is happening in Saudi Arabia, and it has obtained preliminary approval from Mohamed Salah and his agent Rami Abbas regarding a move to the Turkish league".
He continued: "The investment fund presented the matter to the three major Turkish clubs — Beşiktaş, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe — but Beşiktaş were the most enthusiastic about completing the deal".
He pointed out that "the possibility of Galatasaray entering the race strongly for Salah cannot be ruled out, as the club remains interested in the deal and negotiations are ongoing".
The source clarified that the player has other options, including clubs in the Saudi league and Major League Soccer, in addition to previous interest from Italian clubs such as Roma and Juventus.
He concluded his statements by saying: "All possibilities remain open regarding Mohamed Salah's next destination, and the club that meets his financial demands will have the greatest chance of securing the deal".
