Following the match in which Trabzonspor defeated Beşiktaş 2-0 in the 8th week of the Süper Lig, Mohamed Salah's social media post drew attention. The Egyptian footballer, who celebrated a goal in the match while wearing the burgundy-blue jersey, captioned his post featuring photos from the game with "Thirty-five percent ??".
Salah's post, accompanied by a winking emoji, was interpreted as a jab at Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı's comments regarding agent commissions during the summer transfer window. While the post quickly became a hot topic in the football community, the controversies experienced during the transfer process were also recalled.
In the match played at Papara Park, Trabzonspor took the lead with a goal from Ozan Tufan in the 21st minute. For the home team, Mohamed Salah found the net in the 71st minute following an assist from Franculino Djú, extending the lead to two.
With this goal, Salah reached 8 goals in the 8 matches he has played in the Süper Lig and moved to the top of the top scorer race.
Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı had made a statement regarding agent commissions during the period when Salah's transfer was on the agenda. Stating that the requested rate was unacceptable, Adalı had said, "The agent raised his commission to incredible figures. This rate reached approximately 35 percent. For us, such a percentage is unacceptable under any circumstances! We do not think Salah is aware of these figures."
After leaving Liverpool, an agreement could not be reached with the black-and-white club for Salah, who was also on Beşiktaş's agenda, and the Egyptian star signed with Trabzonspor during the summer transfer window.
