Reports have linked Salah with Trabzonspor and Al-Ittihad, while a potential move to Besiktas is also said to have stalled. But Doğan’s fuller response was clear: “If there were such a plan, information would be provided from our side, the press would be informed, and so on.”
That public pushback makes it difficult to treat any one destination as close. For a player whose departure from Liverpool followed a celebrated spell at the club, the next step will turn on more than speculation: the right sporting project and terms will both matter.
De Bruyne is reportedly a leading target for Inter Miami, whose interest follows his departure from Manchester City and move to Napoli. A move to MLS would pair the Belgian midfielder with a team already built around high-profile experience, and could offer a fresh chapter after a difficult spell in Italy.
For now, though, the reports describe a priority, not an agreement. Any switch would depend on negotiations and the player’s decision.
Chelsea are also reported to have completed a deal for Barco for an undisclosed fee. The young Argentina international previously had a brief spell with Brighton, and his arrival would give Chelsea another option as they reshape their squad.
The next developments to watch are whether Salah’s reported suitors make formal progress, whether Miami can turn interest in De Bruyne into negotiations, and how quickly Barco earns a role at Chelsea.
