Mohamed Salah Signs Roma Deal After Huge Besiktas Offer

Mohamed Salah is reportedly set to sign a deal with Roma after being offered a huge contract by Besiktas. The 34-year-old winger's agent is in talks with the Serie A outfit, with sources suggesting that the Egypt international is considering a move to the capital club.

What happened?

Salah has attracted significant interest from clubs in Serie A, Turkey, the MLS, and the Saudi Pro League. However, Roma are now looking to win the race to his signature, with the Saudi Pro League's ongoing war in the Middle East potentially swaying Salah's decision.

Why it matters for Mohamed Salah

Salah previously played for Roma between 2015 and 2017, where he was sensational, netting 34 goals in 83 matches and winning the club's Player of the Season Award for the 2015-16 campaign. If he is to return to the capital, there is every chance that he will be just as effective.

What comes next?

According to Fotmob, Salah still boasted plenty of excellent stats in the Premier League in the 2025-26 campaign, despite his tricky season. Overall, he averaged 0.29 goals, a 0.34 xG, 2.85 shots, 0.29 assists, 2.05 chances created, and 7.84 touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes.

Salah is no doubt one of Liverpool's biggest legends, having helped transform the Reds from an underachieving giant into one of the best sides the Premier League had ever witnessed. However, fans could be set to see Salah play against them in the 2026-27 campaign, with Roma potentially facing Liverpool in the Champions League.

The Saudi Pro League had long been the favourite to secure a deal for the Egypt international, but the ongoing war in the Middle East could sway him to move elsewhere. Besiktas are working on a deal for Salah and are believed to have offered him a record-breaking contract to pair him with new signing Leandro Trossard.

Salah departed Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of the 2025-26 campaign after nine years at the club. His future is now uncertain, with Roma and Besiktas vying for his signature.
