Salah transfer hits new snag as agent raises demands

The potential transfer of Mohamed Salah to Beşiktaş has hit another snag, with reports indicating that the star player's agent has escalated demands concerning image rights and jersey sales. This development has created further uncertainty around the highly anticipated move.

Beşiktaş is said to have presented its final offer to the Egyptian forward, and the club is now awaiting a response. While the initial stages of negotiation seemed promising, with claims that the deal was in its final phase, the latest demands from Salah's representative have complicated matters. The club reportedly conveyed its final terms and is now in a waiting period.

According to reports, Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas, initially reduced his management fee from 7.5 million Euros to 5 million Euros. However, he has since raised expectations regarding the player's share of image rights and revenue from jersey sales. Beşiktaş has apparently not agreed to these increased demands, which, if met, could significantly inflate the overall cost of the transfer, potentially matching the player's salary.

Beşiktaş had been hoping to offset the transfer costs through revenue streams such as jersey sales and advertising deals. The club's management has stated that they have presented the best possible offer, which, including salary and bonuses, is estimated to be close to 20 million Euros. Officials from Beşiktaş plan to hold another meeting with Ramy Abbas to finalize the transfer, aiming for a resolution either way in the near future.
