Mohamed Salah has agreed to sign for Besiktas after calling time on his legendary Liverpool career, according to reports.
The 34-year-old confirmed back in March that the 2025-26 campaign would be his final one at Anfield, and speculation over his next move has been rife in recent weeks. Salah has drawn interest from around the globe, including long-term suitors in Saudi Arabia, but it now appears he will remain in Europe.
Foot Mercato, via GFFN, reports that Salah will head to Turkey after agreeing terms on a one-year deal with Besiktas. The agreement is worth approximately €10 million (£8.5 million), plus a further €2 million (£1.7 million) in bonuses, and includes an option to extend the arrangement by an additional year.
Besiktas hopes to finalise the deal early next week, with Salah's World Cup commitments for Egypt now concluded. The attacker is expected to undergo a medical and sign officially in the coming days.
Claims that Salah has given the move the green light come just hours after his agent, Ramy Abass, took to social media to update fans on his future. Abass wrote on X: "We still do not know where Mohamed will play next season but we may know very soon."
If Salah finalises the switch to Besiktas, he will link up with Leandro Trossard as part of the Turkish club's new-look attack. Trossard completed a transfer from Arsenal to Turkey earlier this week, with the Premier League champions poised to replace him with Christos Tzolis.
