According to Africafoot, MC Alger received a significant offer from Besiktas for Mohamed Saliou Bangoura. The Turkish club is reportedly impressed by Bangoura's profile and potential and wants to act quickly in this summer transfer window. The management of MC Alger has set a minimum of 5 million euros as its financial requirement to consider a transfer of Bangoura. It is not yet known if Besiktas will meet the financial demands of MC Alger.

Beşiktaş is monitoring Mohamed Saliou Bangoura, a 22-year-old Guinean international centre-forward who had a successful season with Algerian champions MC Alger, where he is under contract until June 2027. The Turkish club appreciates the attacker's profile and may soon take further steps in its pursuit. There is competition for the player, as Egyptian clubs Al Ahly SC and Pyramids FC are also pursuing him. According to a source close to the negotiations, Al Ahly has already submitted an initial offer exceeding $1.6 million, which includes performance-related bonuses. Additionally, Moroccan club FUS Rabat has formally expressed its interest and presented its project to the player's representatives. While there has been interest from clubs in Libya and Tanzania, these are not considered priority options for the player. In the 2025/2026 season, Bangoura scored 17 goals and provided 5 assists in 32 league appearances. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €1.20m.
