From Salah’s transfer rumours to Tunisia’s World Cup coaching fallout and an Egyptian referee’s return home, there’s plenty happening across regional football. Mohamed Salah has been linked with reported Beşiktaş talks, Sabri Lamouchi has questioned how his Tunisia sacking was handled during the World Cup, and Egyptian referee Amin Omar has returned to Cairo after completing his tournament duties.
Mohamed Salah Linked With Beşiktaş Talks
What Is It About
Mohamed Salah’s future has taken another rumoured twist. According to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, Salah’s representative has held talks with Turkish club Beşiktaş over a possible move, with his camp reportedly asking for around €15 million per year.
Why It Matters
The report adds another layer to uncertainty around Salah’s next step. Sabuncuoğlu also claimed Salah has received a major offer from Saudi Arabia, but that his camp wanted another round of talks with clubs in Istanbul before moving forward.
What’s Next
For now, there is no official agreement with Beşiktaş, any Turkish club or a Saudi side. But if the talks develop, Salah’s next move could become one of the biggest Arab transfer stories of the window.

Lamouchi Questions Tunisia World Cup Sacking
What Is It About
Sabri Lamouchi has raised serious questions over how his Tunisia exit was handled during the 2026 World Cup. The former head coach said he felt the president of the Tunisian Football Federation was “forced” to sack him after Tunisia’s 5-1 defeat to Sweden.
Why It Matters
Lamouchi was dismissed less than 24 hours after Tunisia’s opening match, becoming the first coach to be sacked during the tournament after just one game. His comments have sparked questions over possible external or political pressure, a sensitive issue because FIFA rules prohibit government interference in national football federations.
What’s Next
Tunisia appointed Hervé Renard for the rest of the tournament, but still exited in the group stage. Moïne Chaâbani has now emerged as the leading candidate to take over, with reports saying the Tunisian Football Federation is in talks with the RS Berkane coach.
Amin Omar Returns To Cairo After World Cup Duties
What Is It About
Egyptian referee Amin Omar has returned to Cairo after completing his FIFA World Cup duties. His final assignment was Argentina’s Group J match against Austria on June 22, 2026.
Why It Matters
Omar completed his group-stage appointments but was not selected to officiate any knockout-stage matches. FIFA’s referee committee retained other officials for the elimination rounds, ending his World Cup campaign after the group phase.
What’s Next
Omar returned to Egypt without an official reception after his World Cup stint. His tournament now stands as another major international assignment for Egyptian refereeing, even without a knockout-stage appointment.
