Salah agent denies Besiktas deal as Saudi links remain alive

Mohamed Salah's agent has flatly denied a report claiming the Egyptian has agreed to join Besiktas. "I personally do not know where Mohamed will play next season. What does that tell you?" Ramy Abbas Issa said on Friday (1). The denial matters for Saudi Arabia because Salah has been persistently linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League as a free agent, and any competing destination, real or rumored, shifts the landscape. For now, nothing is settled. Salah remains a free agent after leaving Liverpool, and the Saudi option has not gone away.
