Beşiktaş is reportedly close to signing former Liverpool star Mohamed Salah after agreeing in principle to a contract.
The Egyptian winger is a free agent following the conclusion of his highly successful spell at Liverpool.
While clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States have shown interest, Salah has indicated a preference for remaining in European football, reinforcing Beşiktaş’s position.
The proposed deal would see Salah sign a one‑year contract with an option for a second season, and an annual salary of €12 million.
Although no official announcement has yet been made, confidence is growing that the transfer could be finalized in the near future.
Beşiktaş manager Vincenzo Italiano has been actively involved in persuading the player that the club’s project aligns with his ambitions.
The Turkish club expects to complete the necessary paperwork within days, pending the resolution of remaining financial details.
Earlier negotiations were reportedly stalled by demands from Salah’s representatives, but recent updates suggest those obstacles may have been cleared.
A transfer of this magnitude would be historic for Turkish football, adding a globally recognised talent to the league.
For Salah, the move would allow continued participation in European competition while assuming a central role in an ambitious club project.
The deal would provide Beşiktaş with a superstar without incurring a transfer fee, potentially elevating the club’s profile on and off the pitch.
The combination of proven quality, experience, and commercial appeal makes this offer unique for a free‑agent signing.
