Besiktas confirms talks with Vlahovic after Salah deal fails

Summary

Besiktas President Serdal Adali announced that the club is in discussions with Dusan Vlahovic regarding a transfer deal. This development follows Besiktas' decision to abandon attempts to sign Mohamed Salah due to unacceptable demands. Salah is set to complete a transfer to Trabzonspor today. Vlahovic, a former Juventus striker, became a free agent on July 1 and had previously kept open the possibility of re-signing with Juventus at a reduced salary. As Besiktas pursues Vlahovic, the club aims to leverage the presence of coach Vincenzo Italiano, who previously worked with the striker at Fiorentina.
