Besiktas Seeking Direct Salah Talks After Agent Fee Dispute

Besiktas president Serdal Adalı reportedly plans to meet Mohamed Salah directly after an alleged 35% agent fee stalled negotiations.

According to reports, the parties had reached a preliminary agreement before the dispute emerged. truewildslot.com

The proposed contract would run for one year and include an option for another season, with Salah’s annual earnings at €12 million, according to Fotomac.

The forward’s agent, Ramy Abbas, subsequently requested a commission reported to be around 35%, which would add approximately €5 million to the transfer package.

Adalı rejected the alleged request and asked Abbas to withdraw it. “Such a percentage is unacceptable to us under any circumstances,” Adalı said. “We do not think Salah knows about these figures.”

The Besiktas president now wants to speak directly with Salah and resolve the dispute. Adalı had already confirmed that negotiations remained active despite earlier reports announcing a completed agreement.

“There is no completed transfer yet,” Adalı said on Saturday. “We rejected [the revised demands]. Our talks are continuing.”

At the time, he stated that Beşiktaş and Salah had reached an understanding on the other elements of the proposed transfer.

“We love Salah and agree with the player on every issue,” Adalı said.

Last week, Ramy Abbas challenged claims that Salah had already decided his future. “I personally do not know where Mohamed will play next season,” he wrote. “What does that tell you?”

Rubber flooring is essential for gyms because it absorbs impact, protects the subfloor from dropped weights, reduces noise, prevents slips, and extends the life of expensive fitness equipment. For any commercial gym or home gym in Qatar, quality rubber gym flooring is the foundation every other investment stands on.

At Sports Village Qatar, we have supplied and installed rubber gym flooring for hotels, commercial gyms, military facilities, and homes across Doha since 2006. Here is exactly why no gym should open its doors without it.

What Makes Rubber Flooring the Best Choice for Gyms?

Rubber flooring outperforms tiles, wood, vinyl, and bare concrete in every category that matters inside a gym. Rubber absorbs shock, resists moisture, handles heavy point loads, and recovers its shape after years of daily abuse. That is why nearly every professional fitness facility in the world — from hotel gyms to Olympic training centres — is built on rubber.

It Protects Your Subfloor and Your Equipment

Every dropped dumbbell, loaded barbell, and heavy machine transfers force directly into your floor. On concrete or tile, that force causes cracks, chips, and permanent damage that costs far more to repair than flooring costs to install.

Rubber flooring absorbs that impact before it reaches the subfloor. It also protects your commercial gym equipment itself — machines and free weights that land on rubber last visibly longer than those hitting hard surfaces. When you have invested in premium brands like Precor or Hoist, the flooring is what safeguards that investment every single day.

It Prevents Injuries and Reduces Fatigue

Hard floors are unforgiving on joints. Rubber flooring provides slip resistance and cushioning that reduces the risk of falls, ankle rolls, and impact injuries during workouts. For functional training zones, HIIT areas, and free weight sections, this cushioning is not a luxury — it is a safety requirement.

Members also train longer and more comfortably on rubber. The slight give underfoot reduces fatigue during standing exercises, which directly improves the member experience your gym is judged on.

It Controls Noise and Vibration

Dropped weights on bare floors create noise that travels through walls and floors — a serious problem for gyms inside hotels, apartment towers, and mixed-use buildings in Doha. Rubber flooring dampens both the sound and the vibration at the source.

This is one of the main reasons hotel fitness centres and residential building gyms across Qatar specify rubber flooring from day one. It keeps neighbours, guests, and building management happy.

It Handles Qatar’s Conditions

Gyms in Qatar deal with heavy air conditioning, humidity swings, and intense daily usage. Rubber flooring is naturally moisture resistant, easy to sanitise, and does not warp, crack, or delaminate the way wood and laminate can. Daily cleaning takes minutes, and hygiene standards stay high — something every commercial facility inspection looks at.

It Works for Every Type of Gym

Rubber flooring is not only for commercial facilities. Rubber rolls, tiles, and interlocking mats work equally well for home gym setups, villa gyms, physiotherapy rooms, and school sports halls. Different thicknesses serve different zones — thicker flooring for free weight and Olympic lifting areas, standard thickness for cardio and machine zones.

Sports Village Qatar is the authorised supplier of Ecore USA and Paviflex Spain flooring — two of the most trusted gym flooring brands in the world. Our team helps you choose the right type, thickness, and layout for your space, and our engineers handle complete installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness of rubber flooring is best for a gym?

For general gym areas and cardio zones, 6mm to 8mm rubber flooring is usually sufficient. Free weight areas need 10mm to 15mm, and dedicated Olympic lifting or deadlift zones benefit from 20mm or more. Sports Village Qatar assesses your layout and recommends the right thickness for each zone before installation.

Is rubber flooring worth it for a home gym?

Yes. Rubber flooring protects your home’s tiles or marble from dropped weights, reduces noise for family members and neighbours, and makes workouts safer and more comfortable. Interlocking rubber tiles and mats are an affordable option that can be installed quickly in any villa or apartment gym in Qatar.

How do you clean and maintain rubber gym flooring?

Rubber gym flooring needs only regular sweeping or vacuuming and mopping with a mild, rubber-safe cleaner. It is naturally moisture resistant and does not need polishing, sealing, or special treatments. With basic care, quality rubber flooring lasts well over a decade even in busy commercial gyms.

Miami: Lionel Messi said on Monday that after Argentina’s World Cup final loss “the pain is immense and it’s going to take a long time for this wound to heal.”

“I’ll also hold on to all the good memories,” Messi wrote in Spanish on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself wearing his loser’s medal following the world champions’ extra-time loss to Spain.

“Today it’s hard to appreciate what we achieved, but this squad reached two consecutive World Cup finals.”

“I’d also like to congratulate Spain on winning the tournament,” added the 39-year-old, who broke down in tears after the defeat.

In the knockout rounds, Argentina came from behind to beat Egypt and England and had to go to extra time to beat Cape Verde and Switzerland.

“With the matches we turned around by giving our all - matches that will remain in our memories forever - and with the support of an entire country, which, together with the hard work and effort of this squad, led us to once again be among the best in the world,” the Inter Miami forward wrote in the post.

Having scored eight goals during the tournament, Messi, an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner as best player in the world, failed to make an impact in the final, much like his team, which was unable to pose a threat to a better-organised Spanish side.

At the World Cup, he has now lost two finals, in 2014 and 2026, and won one, in 2022, against France.

Argentinian media reported on Monday that Messi was not expected to make the trip back to Buenos Aires with most of the rest of the squad for what promises to be a subdued homecoming.

Madrid: New World Cup champions Spain began their celebration parade on an open-top bus through the streets of Madrid yesterday early evening, with a jubilant crowd of over a million people out to celebrate, local authorities told AFP.

The players set off on their procession under a blazing sun, along the main arteries in the city centre where a sea of fans in red and yellow were waiting, with the destination Cibeles square.

After flying back from the United States to Madrid, the players were received by King Felipe VI and the royal family, and then Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, before kicking off the parade.

Players passed around the gleaming World Cup trophy and waved to a sea of delighted Spain fans in red and yellow, the day after defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra-time in New Jersey.Ferran Torres’s strike in extra-time was enough to bring Spain their second World Cup, following a first victory in 2010.

“You have shown your grit, your resilience and your courage, always backed by your technical skill, your control and command of the game, combining head and heart,” the king told La Roja’s stars, who were dressed in suits but changed to more casual clothing for their parade on a hot summer’s day.

“Kings of the world” ran the words on the front of their vehicle, with fans chanting “champions” to their heroes.

Spain captain Rodri held the World Cup trophy aloft at the top of the stairs as he descended from the Iberia plane that flew the team home after clinching their second star.

Later at Moncloa, Manchester City midfielder Rodri said this was the crowning achievement of his career.

“I’ve always said it, winning with your country is the most beautiful thing there is, above all a World Cup,” said Rodri.

“This generation grew up watching (Iker) Casillas and (Andres) Iniesta lift the cup and that we can do it today is the biggest thing you can do in football.” Many younger supporters were not yet born when Iniesta’s extra-time goal against the Netherlands secured Spain’s first World Cup in South Africa 16 years ago.

Match-winner Torres joked he was “flying, literally” after the team returned from the United States after beating Argentina in New Jersey.

“I’m very happy to see how excited all of the children are... (and) to have the parade and celebrate with all of the Spaniards,” he added.

Spain’s World Cup winners bus parade started at Moncloa before heading towards Cibeles square, where hordes of fans had reserved their spots hours in advance.

A ceremony involving the players and a concert will then be held at the square, the traditional gathering point for celebrations by the Spanish national team and its supporters. Over 120,000 people were estimated to be waiting there.

Spain’s women’s side won the World Cup in 2023, meaning for the first time a country has both trophies at the same time.

In 2030, Spain will defend their crown on home soil, as one of the World Cup hosts along with Portugal and Morocco.

“It’s two for two,” said Prime Minister Sanchez, of Spain’s record in World Cup finals. “Why not dream of a third in 2030, especially with Spain as hosts?” The Spanish press was running out of superlatives to describe its heroes after they overcame favourites France in the semi-finals before downing Argentina.

“The kings of all-time!” wrote Marca, celebrating a “second star that will now be stitched onto the Spanish jersey after yet another masterclass in collective play.”
