Mohamed Salah is set to join Besiktas after ending his legendary career at Liverpool, it has been claimed.
The 34-year-old admitted in March that the 2025-26 season would be his last at Anfield, and there has been speculation over his next move in recent weeks. Salah has attracted interest from around the world, including a long-time suitor from Saudi Arabia, but it now looks like he will remain in Europe.
Foot Mercato reports via GFFN that Salah will head to Türkiye after agreeing a one-year contract with Besiktas.
The contract includes approximately 10 million euros (approximately 850 million yen), plus a further 2 million euros (approximately 170 million yen) in bonuses and an option to extend the contract for another year.
Coach Besiktas hopes to conclude a deal early next week now that Salah’s World Cup appearance with Egypt has ended. The attacker is expected to undergo a medical check and officially sign the petition within the next few days.
Salah’s claim that he has given the green light to join Besiktas comes just hours after the player’s agent Ramy Abbas updated fans on social media about his future.
“We don’t know yet where Mohamed will play next season, but we might find out soon (smiley face emoji),” he wrote in a post for X.

If Salah ultimately decides to move to Besiktas, he will link up with Leandro Trossard as part of the Turkish team’s new attack.
Trossard completed his move from Arsenal to Turkey earlier this week, with the Premier League champions set to replace him with Christos Tzoris.
