Besiktas sporting director Onder Ozen recently revealed that there have been talks with Salah's side, but financial demands from his advisers have stalled negotiations. Subsequent reports claimed that Trabzonspor had "stole" Besiktas' deal and had arranged for Salah to travel to Türkiye on Sunday, coinciding with the club's 59th anniversary. However, when asked about these reports, Dogan told A Spor: "There is no such agreement. As for the plan to bring him to Trabzon, there is no plan; nothing at all. If there was a plan, information would be provided from our side, the press would be informed and so on. No such thing happened. Salah is a very professional and successful player, known all over the world. Everyone wants Salah. That is A separate matter. But at the moment, there is no agreement regarding our club. I emphasize this, even though I may not convey this message clearly: there is no agreement."
When asked if he had spoken to Salah about a possible move to Senol Gunes Sports Complex, Dogan said: "I don't want to talk about this. Of course, the fans want to see a player like Salah, and so do I. Bringing in certain players requires a certain attitude and behavior. That's what I'm trying to do as president now. I know everyone's attention is focused on this; there is no agreement. Currently, there are no trips planned. We will notify our community and fans as soon as there are new developments."
