Ramy Abbas has clarified the financial shape of Beşiktaş's interest in Mohamed Salah, and the message is simple: there is still a sizeable gap to close. The agent said Beşiktaş want a 25% share from shirt sales, while the difference between the wage offer and the demand stands at €4 million.
That makes the deal look difficult rather than impossible, but it does underline the scale of the numbers involved. Abbas also pointed out that Beşiktaş are waiting for a response, while insisting there is no need for them to keep waiting if the terms are not moving in the right direction.
Beşiktaş's Salah problem is financial first
The key issue is not whether Salah would be a major name for Beşiktaş. It is whether the club are prepared to meet the wider package around the move.
Abbas's comments suggest the discussion is not just about salary. It is also about commercial value, with the request for a 25% share from shirt sales placing another layer on top of the wage negotiation.
For Beşiktaş, that leaves the club with a straightforward decision. Either they improve the proposal, or they move on before the talks become a distraction.
Trabzonspor's busy transfer picture continues
The Salah story comes as Trabzonspor remain active in several areas of the market. The club have already agreed a €20 million deal with Benfica for Gianluca Prestianni, while they have also made contact with Başakşehir over Shomurodov and learned the terms for the 31-year-old forward.
Trabzonspor's name has also been linked with other market moves in recent reports, including the race for Mory Gbane and the Andre Onana loan discussion. It is another reminder that the Turkish transfer window is moving quickly and that clubs are being forced to make clear, early decisions.
For Beşiktaş, though, the Salah question remains the headline issue. Abbas has now put the financial demands into the open, and that means the next move must come from the club if they still believe the deal is worth pursuing.
The latest position is clear enough: there is interest, there is a response, and there is still a €4 million gap to bridge. Until that changes, the transfer looks more complicated than realistic.
