Because Salah’s deal hasn’t been completed yet.
Before an agreement is finalized, clubs must exercise caution, completely understandable."Besiktas is indeed pursuing Salah’s transfer, and they did make an offer. However, we must await an official agreement before confirmation.
We’re waiting for the next steps.“Salah has also received offers from MLS and Saudi clubs, so Besiktas is maintaining discretion until reaching a comprehensive agreement.”Mohamed Salah's agreement with Besiktas has not been confirmed, says his agent.(Image: 2026 FIFA)It certainly doesn't rule Besiktas out from completing a deal for Salah, but it suggests that the race is far from over for clubs trying to seal a deal for the legendary winger in the weeks ahead.Should the forward make the move to the Turkish club, or the MLS or Saudi Arabia, then he will avoid a potential emotional reunion with the Reds across any competition.A move elsewhere in Europe could see him come up against Liverpool in continental competition, but Besiktas only qualified for the Europa League, avoiding a possible meeting in the Champions League - while MLS and Saudi clubs don't compete in Europe.It's unclear whether other clubs could join the mix, but there is an expectation that a decision will arrive in the near future now the star is on a break after the World Cup.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Mohamed SalahLiverpool FC
