Dusan Vlahovic has agreed to join Besiktas as a free agent following his exit from Juventus earlier this summer.
The 26-year-old Serbian scored 68 goals across four-and-a-half seasons in Turin, but left upon the expiration of his contract and Besiktas announced on Tuesday it was in negotiations to sign the striker.
Vlahovic’s proposed move to Besiktas follows other high-profile forwards moving to the Turkish Super Lig recently, with Romelu Lukaku and Mason Greenwood both joining Fenerbahce, while Mohamed Salah moved to Trabszonspor.

Vlahovic was previously one of the most in-demand players in Europe, with Arsenal having shown a firm interest, before he joined Juventus from Fiorentina in a €75million ($88.3m) deal in January 2022.
Vlahovic was out for over three months between December and March last season with an adductor injury, in a season disrupted by fitness setbacks that limited him to 23 games at club level.
Prior to his move to Juventus, the striker enjoyed a highly-successful spell with Fiorentina in which he scored 49 times in 108 appearances.
Vlahovic burst onto the scene in the 2020-21 campaign, scoring 21 goals in all competitions for Fiorentina, before netting 29 times in the following season. He has played 41 games for Serbia, scoring 16 times.
