Mohamed Salah has reportedly agreed to join Turkish club Besiktas on a one-year deal worth €10 million (£8.5m) plus €2m in bonuses, with an option to extend for another year. The 34-year-old Egyptian star confirmed in March that the 2025-26 season would be his last at Liverpool, ending his legendary tenure at Anfield. Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, Salah will remain in Europe. Besiktas hopes to finalize the transfer early next week after Salah's World Cup commitments with Egypt end. He will join new signing Leandro Trossard in Besiktas' revamped attack. Salah's agent, Ramy Abass, hinted on social media that an announcement is imminent.

Mohamed Salah has agreed to join 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 attracted interest from around the globe, including long-term suitors in Saudi Arabia — but it now seems 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.
Contract Details
- Base value: Approximately €10 million (£8.5 million)
- Bonuses: An additional €2 million (£1.7 million)
- Extension option: The deal includes an option to extend by an additional year
Timeline
Besiktas would like the deal wrapped early next week, with Salah's World Cup commitments with Egypt now at an end. It is hoped the attacker will undergo a medical and sign officially in the coming days.
Agent's Statement
Claims that Salah has given a move to Besiktas the green light come just hours after his agent, Ramy Abass, took to social media to update fans on his future. He wrote in a post on X:
"We still do not know where Mohamed will play next season but we may know very soon."
New-Look Attack
If Salah finalises a switch to Besiktas, he will link up with Leandro Trossard as part of the Turkish outfit'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.
