Besiktas have terminated the contract of former Arsenal and Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, making him a free agent ahead of the 2025/26 season. The termination was reportedly settled with a severance payment of €1.4 million (£1.25 million), a figure lower than the remaining wages on his contract, which was due to run until the end of the next season.

Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Besiktas in the summer of 2023 after a spell at Liverpool that was hampered by injuries. Over two seasons at the Turkish club, he made 50 appearances and scored five goals. Despite the early contract end, Besiktas continue to maintain some English connections within their squad, recently signing Tammy Abraham on loan from Roma under coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The 31-year-old's departure marks the end of a two-year stint at the Istanbul-based club, allowing him to explore new opportunities as a free agent. His move from Liverpool to Besiktas initially offered a fresh start after several injury setbacks at Anfield.
