Trabzonspor secured a 2-0 victory over Besiktas in a Turkish Super Lig match, with Mohamed Salah sealing the win in the 71st minute. The Egyptian winger's goal came after his teammate Ozan Tufan opened the scoring in the 21st minute, lifting Trabzonspor to 16 points after eight league matches. Following the match, Salah took a dig at Besiktas through a post on Instagram, mocking the explanation given by Besiktas president Serdal Adalı for the collapse of the club's pursuit of Salah.
The transfer saga had been marked by disagreements over the financial terms, with Salah's agent Ramy Abbas reportedly demanding a 35% commission, a figure Adalı had vehemently dismissed as "unbelievable". Salah's reaction to the match victory added another twist to the ongoing rivalry between the two clubs, highlighting his impressive start to his career in Turkey since signing a two-year contract with Trabzonspor in August.
The Turkish club had offered Salah a guaranteed payment of €17 million (Dh 70.11 million) per season, including salary and a signing payment.
