Quaresma flying back to nest in Istanbul

Turkey's Be?ikta?, the Istanbul side that is facing transfer difficulties due to financial difficulties in a pre-season where rivals have already signed world stars, has shaken hands with its former Portuguese forward Ricardo Quaresma, along with Brazilian center back Rhodolfo and German striker Mario Gomez, according to an official. 

Erdal Toruno?ullar?, the foreign relations chief of the black and whites, said these three players will sign contracts at a ceremony at Be?ikta?'s under-construction Vodafone Arena Stadium or Ba?ak?ehir Stadium on July 22 before they move to Austria to join the team in training. 

Porto will get some 800,000 euros for Quaresma, sources said, as his fee is estimated at 1.3 million euros annually. 

Quaresma, who has also played with Inter, Barcelona and Chelsea, became an idol for the fans when he moved to Be?ikta? in 2010 as a marquee, signing in a summer when former Real Madrid ace Guti also arrived at the team's historic ?nönü Stadium.

The superstar fell out of favor after refusing the cash-strapped club's offer of a cut in his salary and was not used by the club this season. Quaresma left Turkey on Dec. 20, 2012, after being released from Be?ikta?.  

However, "I will be back to Turkey," Quaresma said upon leaving Istanbul. 

He ended up at Dubai's Al Ahly in 2013, where he appeared only 10 games before he moved to Porto. Quaresma had a brilliant year at Porto last season, as the Portuguese side, for which he also played between 2004 and 2008, reached the quarter finals at the UEFA Champions League. 

Be?ikta? also signed Gomez from Italy's Fiorentina for 6 million euros in transfer fees at the end of a bargaining that was launched at 10 million euros, according to sources....
