Turkish Minister urges Mohamed Salah to join Besiktas for her son’s sake

In a public appeal, Turkey's Minister of Family and Social Services, Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş, has called on Egyptian football star Mohamed Salah to join the Turkish club Besiktas. The minister's plea, made on Sunday evening, was notably driven by her son's fervent wish for Salah to play for the Istanbul-based team. Göktaş confirmed that her son had personally sent a message to Salah, encouraging him to make the move. "I want Mohamed Salah to join Besiktas for my son's sake, and we hope the deal will go through," the minister stated in an interview with Turkish channel GZT. This public endorsement comes as Salah's future remains a topic of discussion following his departure from Liverpool FC at the end of last season, where he spent nine successful years. The minister's intervention adds a unique political and personal dimension to the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding the prolific forward.
