Fenerbahçe Moves for Mohamed Salah Transfer
Transfer rumors surrounding Mohamed Salah, who has once again been linked with Fenerbahçe, have gained momentum. During a period where Aziz Yıldırım's management has left the door open, the Egyptian star's performance in the Premier League for the 2025/26 season is also drawing attention.
Fenerbahce Reopen Mohamed Salah Dream
Mohamed Salah has once again emerged as one of the biggest names linked with Fenerbahce as the Turkish giants continue planning for the new season.
Although no official agreement has been reached, recent comments from club figures and president Aziz Yildirim have fueled speculation that a sensational move could still be possible.
With Salah currently available as a free agent following the end of his Liverpool spell, Fenerbahce remain one of several clubs monitoring his situation.
Aziz Yildirim Leaves the Door Open
During his presidential campaign, Aziz Yildirim addressed the possibility of signing Mohamed Salah and acknowledged the enormous financial commitment such a deal would require.
According to Yildirim, Salah's salary demands could reach €20 million per season, bringing the total cost of a three-year contract close to €90 million.
Despite the figures involved, Yildirim insisted that if the club considers Salah a priority, Fenerbahce would be prepared to evaluate the opportunity.
Positive Talks Already Took Place
Former football executive Ertan Torunoğulları revealed that discussions with Salah's representatives had progressed positively before the election.
According to Torunoğulları, the Egyptian forward was open to the idea of playing in Turkey, with negotiations covering salary and several contractual details.
He also stated that he would be willing to assist the new administration if they decide to continue pursuing the transfer.
Salah Expected to Decide After the World Cup
Mohamed Salah has not yet announced where he will continue his career.
The 33-year-old is expected to make his final decision after the FIFA World Cup, with clubs from Saudi Arabia, Major League Soccer and Europe all showing interest.
Fenerbahce's chances may ultimately depend on whether they are willing to match the financial package required to secure one of world football's biggest stars.
Salah's 2025/26 Premier League Numbers
Even at 33 years old, Salah remains one of the most productive attacking players in elite football.
His 2025/26 Premier League campaign highlights his continued influence:
27 appearances and 2,149 minutes played
0.29 goals per 90 minutes
0.38 expected goals (xG) per 90

0.29 assists per 90
2.85 shots per 90
0.80 shots on target per 90
0.84 successful dribbles per 90
2.51 duels won per 90
Although his performance value has dropped compared to previous seasons, Salah continues to combine creativity, chance creation and finishing at a very high level.
What Could Salah Bring to Fenerbahce?
Signing Mohamed Salah would immediately transform Fenerbahce's attacking options.
His experience in high-pressure matches, ability to create chances and proven goalscoring record would make him one of the most impactful players in the Super Lig.
Beyond statistics, Salah would also provide leadership, Champions League pedigree and global recognition that could elevate the club both on and off the pitch.
Transfer Still Depends on Financial Conditions
For now, there is no official agreement between Fenerbahce and Mohamed Salah.
However, statements from key figures suggest that the possibility remains alive. If Aziz Yildirim's administration decides to pursue the deal aggressively and meets the financial demands, one of the biggest transfers in Turkish football history could become a reality.
With the World Cup approaching, Salah's future is set to remain one of the most closely watched stories of the summer transfer window.
