ankara [तुर्की]July 25 (ANI): Egyptian and Liverpool great footballer Mohamed Salah is all set to join Turkish club Besiktas. According to a report by Goal.com, negotiations have reached the final stage and the Egyptian legend is just a few steps away from wearing the jersey of the 16-time Super Lig champion team.
Salah finished his nine-season career with the club at Anfield, Liverpool’s home ground, ahead of the FIFA World Cup. During his time with the English football giants, he broke many records and won two Premier League and one UEFA Champions League title.
Complete details of the deal
According to Italian journalist Niccolo Schirra, quoted by Goal.com, Besiktas have agreed all personal terms with the star player and his agent and the ace is set to sign a one-season deal worth €12 million. The deal also has a clause to extend the contract until the summer of 2028. Schira said that Italian coach Vincenzo Italiano played an important role in explaining the club’s project and vision to Salah and took the talks to the final stage.
Now Besiktas’s board is finalizing the paperwork ahead of the official announcement, and it is expected that an announcement will be made in the coming days.
Why did Salah reject Saudi Arabian clubs?
After Salah left Liverpool, several Saudi Arabian clubs were after him, but reports suggest that Besiktas and Türkiye were a more likely destination. The player’s desire to remain on the European football scene played an important role in this decision.
FIFA World Cup 2026 performance
In Egypt’s journey to the FIFA World Cup 2026, Salah played a key role in leading the team to the Round of 16, where they lost 3–2 to defending champions Argentina. In this match he scored one goal and gave two assists. (ANI)
