Beşiktaş are continuing an ambitious summer rebuild under new head coach Vincenzo Italiano, with Mohamed Salah still the club's marquee target while negotiations advance for reinforcements in central defense, midfield and on the right wing.
The Black Eagles remain confident they can sign the Egyptian superstar despite an impasse over agent commissions, while they have also identified Joe Willock, Leo Pereira, Igor Julio and Johan Bakayoko as key targets to strengthen multiple positions before the new Süper Lig season.
Salah remains Beşiktaş's top priority after becoming a free agent earlier this month following the mutual termination of his Liverpool contract one year before its scheduled expiration.
The club have already reached a principle agreement with the 34-year-old on a two-year contract worth about 12 million euros ($14 million) per season, including performance-related bonuses.
Beşiktaş president Serdal Adalı has been personally leading negotiations and recently met with Salah, who reportedly reaffirmed his commitment to the agreement.
