Revenge the Egyptian way.. Salah prepares to teach the Beşiktaş president a harsh lesson

19.10.26 13:00 Super Lig Turkey

Trabzonspor

Besiktas

Mohamed Salah is preparing to lead Trabzonspor against Beşiktaş on Monday in a high stakes Matchday 8 encounter in the 2026 /27 Turkish Süper Lig season.

A crucial top-five encounter

Monday's fixture presents a vital opportunity for both clubs to climb the table. Trabzonspor currently sit fifth in the Turkish standings with 13 point, trailing fourth placed Beşiktaş by just two point.

According to Turkish outlet Star, the match carries significant personal motivation for Salah. The Egyptian star aims to use the encounter to respond on the pitch to dismissive remarks made by Beşiktaş president Serdal Adalı during the summer transfer window.

Summer transfer controversy

During the recent off season, Salah was closely linked with a potential move to Beşiktaş. However, talks ultimately broke down without an agreement. Following the collapsed negotiations, Adalı publicly stated that his club was never genuinely interested in signing the player, a claim that has reportedly given Salah extra motivation heading into the match.

Çevrimiçi satranç profilinde 1400 puanı bulunan Salah, yerel turnuvalarda yarışabilecek düzeyde. Kullanıcı adının ise ismi ve birkaç sayıdan oluştuğunu açıkladı. En son 30 Ocak 2026'da giriş yapmış.

İngiliz Satranç Federasyonu, Mısır Satranç Kulübü ve Mısırlı Satranç Ustaları kulüplerine üye olduğu görülüyor. #satranç #mohamedsalah #salah #haber #trabzonspor

Trabzonspor’s attacking focal point

Salah has quickly established himself as the cornerstone of Trabzonspor's attack. The veteran forward has already recorded seven goals and three assists in the league this season.

He enters the Beşiktaş fixture in excellent form, having recently scored and provided an assist during a 4-2 victory over Finnish side KuPS in the UEFA Conference League. His immediate impact under new head coach Thomas Reis has brought a renewed sense of optimism to the Trabzonspor fanbase.

What happens next?

Salah is expected to start in his trademark position on the right wing on Monday evening.

He will be tasked with providing the primary attacking threat for the visitors, operating alongside Guinean forward Franculino Djú as Trabzonspor look to secure all three points and leapfrog Beşiktaş in the standings.
