Mohamed Salah is on the verge of joining Beşiktaş from Liverpool, with trusted Turkish journalist Levent Umit Erol confirming the Egyptian winger has already selected his shirt number for the upcoming season. The 32-year-old attacker will wear the iconic number 11 at the Istanbul club, signalling his imminent arrival in the Turkish Super Lig.
Erol, a reliable source on Turkish football transfers, has doubled down on his reporting, stating on social media: "The promotional advertisements for Salah will be filmed, under the sponsorship of Turkish Airlines, using the eagle symbols and logos." This level of detailed preparation suggests negotiations have progressed well beyond preliminary stages. Erol's post concluded with a direct message to Beşiktaş supporters: "Rest assured, you will get Salah."
Contract Details and Financial Package
According to reports from Haber S Balıkesir, Beşiktaş have constructed a substantial financial offer to lure the former Liverpool star to Turkish football. The club is guaranteeing €15 million annually, with performance-related bonuses adding approximately €4 million on top. The proposal includes a two-year contract, giving Salah stability as he enters the later stages of his career.
High-level figures within the Turkish state apparatus are reportedly backing the move, which could facilitate sponsorship arrangements and accelerate the transfer's completion. Salah's potential arrival represents a significant coup for Beşiktaş, who are seeking to bolster their attacking options in the Super Lig title race and European competitions.
The Egypt international's move would mark a notable chapter in his career trajectory, taking him away from the Premier League for the first time since joining Chelsea in 2014. If confirmed, expect the formal announcement to follow swiftly given the advanced stage of negotiations.
