Mohamed Salah is set to take an unexpected step in his career as he is officially confirmed as a new signing for Besiktas next week. After nine intense seasons at Liverpool, where he scored 257 goals in 442 appearances, the 34-year-old Egyptian international emotionally bid farewell to the Reds this summer, leaving fans in shock over his departure.
Salah, who became a free agent after ending his connection with Anfield, kept his future uncertain while representing Egypt at the 2026 World Cup. During the tournament, the winger contributed three goals and assists, but the Egyptian national team was ultimately eliminated by Argentina. During this period, rumors circulated about possible transfers to Major League Soccer or the Saudi Professional League, common destinations for stars at the end of their careers. However, the Egyptian seems to have chosen a different challenge.
According to information reported by The Mirror, Salah is set to sign with Besiktas on a contract worth around 10 million euros, with an additional 2 million in bonuses, including a clause that could extend the agreement by another season. The Turkish club, which recently secured the signing of Leandro Trossard, saw the Belgian's presentation interrupted by chants from fans calling for the arrival of the Egyptian star, demonstrating the immense anticipation surrounding his signing.
Salah's agent, Ramy Abas, further fueled the speculation this week by stating: “We still don't know where Mohamed will play next season, but we might know very soon.” This statement reinforces the likelihood of an official announcement from Besiktas.
This transfer marks a significant turning point in Salah's career, as he steps away from competing on the major European stages to embrace a new challenge in a less high-profile league, but one that promises to set the bar high for him in Turkey. The Egyptian's arrival at Besiktas not only elevates the club's status but also promises to shake up the transfer market and the team's ambitions for the upcoming season. The official announcement is highly anticipated by fans and international sports media.
