Football superstar Mohamed Salah, 34, is reportedly on the verge of a move to Turkish club Beşiktaş. French outlet Foot Mercato, citing Turkish media, states that Salah is in discussions with the Istanbul-based team and is "very close" to a transfer. The proposed contract is for one year with an option for an additional year, valued at 12 million euros. While clubs from Saudi Arabia's league and the American MLS were also reportedly interested, Salah appears set to remain in Europe for now. Beşiktaş is located on the European side of Istanbul. Salah's departure from Liverpool was announced earlier this year after his contract concluded in the summer. During his nine seasons with the Premier League club, he became Liverpool's third-highest scorer with 257 goals. His trophy cabinet with Liverpool includes two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy.
