For Besiktas, the proposed deal would be more than a routine signing. Salah would arrive with two Premier League titles and a Champions League crown from his Liverpool career, giving the club a proven winner for an immediate push in the Turkish Super Lig.
Reports suggest the contract could be worth up to €12 million, underlining the scale of the commitment despite its limited duration. A one-year agreement also reduces Besiktas’ long-term exposure while allowing the club to add a globally recognised forward.
Salah’s Liverpool spell established him as one of the defining attacking players of the modern Premier League era. His arrival would raise the profile of Besiktas and create a clear focal point for the club’s domestic and European ambitions.
The structure of the deal points to a win-now strategy. Besiktas would not be planning around a long rebuild with Salah; they would be seeking immediate production, leadership and attention from a player whose career has been built around sustained success at the highest level.
Personal terms represent a significant step, but they do not equal an official transfer. The report describes negotiations as being in their final stages, with only a few steps left before completion.
That distinction matters for Besiktas supporters. Until the contract is signed and the move is announced, Salah remains a reported target rather than a confirmed player.
The next storyline will be whether those final formalities are completed in time for Salah to begin a new chapter in Turkey. If they are, Besiktas will have secured one of the most prominent names to enter the Turkish Super Lig in recent seasons.
