Beşiktaş team technical director, Vincenzo Italiano, expressed his caution regarding the expected deal to sign Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, as he has become close to transferring to the Turkish league this summer.
Press reports spread this morning about Mohamed Salah's next destination, confirming that he will join the Turkish league through the Beşiktaş door.
Reports mentioned, moments ago, that Mohamed Salah reached a verbal agreement with Beşiktaş to join their ranks for 10 million euros as an annual salary, in addition to bonuses amounting to two million euros.

Vincenzo Italiano said, in statements via the Turkish "a spor" network: "We cannot refuse Mohamed Salah, he is a player who cannot be underestimated, a prominent personality and a shining name".
He added: "Mohamed Salah has great experience and a good reputation, he can become a legend at Beşiktaş."
Then he wondered: "But we will give him 12 million euros, what if we do not succeed in concluding other deals because we spent all our money on that deal?"
Beşiktaş club president Serdal Adalı responded, saying: "Do not worry about that, we have succeeded in arranging sponsor support, we have found our sponsor, we can complete other deals as you wish."
