The Egyptian King reached an agreement to rip up his £400k per week contract one year earlier. Originally slated to leave the club in 2027 that exit date was brought forward to the end of June this year.

Following a spell at the FIFA World Cup with Egypt Salah is now preparing to make his next move. At 34 the left-footed attacker STILL believes he’s got a lot to offer at the top level.

Besiktas to sign Mo Salah

Although teams in Saudi Arabia and MLS have reportedly been interested in striking a deal for the Pharaoh it looks like the legendary forward is going to stay in European football.

Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce were early moves for a Salah deal but Istanbul rivals Besiktas have now swooped in.

It looks like Vincenzo Italiano’s side will seal the signing of Salah sometime this week - once issues over bonuses and commissions are ironed out.

Salah to make £10m per year

There has been some degree of surprise at the pay packet the two-time African footballer of the year will be given. It works out at around £10m per year - including bonuses - which is around HALF of what he was making at Anfield.

But Salah is content to take on the challenge financial shortfalls notwithstanding according to a report in A Spor. In fact the winger has TURNED DOWN bigger offers from the Saudi Pro League in order to seal a deal with Besiktas.

Salah turns down €20m Saudi offer

“The Egyptian player is very keen to play in Türkiye and wear the Beşiktaş jersey,” the report reads.

“It has been learned that the 34-year-old world star rejected offers from Saudi Arabian teams that had offered higher salaries than Beşiktaş.

“The Saudi offers were reportedly in the range of 20 million euros per year.”

Teams interested in Salah from the Saudi league are reported to include Brendan Rodgers’ Al-Qadsiah as well as Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad. But Salah’s desire to remain on the European scene has led him to the Turkish Super Lig.

Besiktas also face FC Midtjylland in the second qualifying round for the Europa League this week - with the final of that competition scheduled for their home stadium next year.
