Oxlade-Chamberlain, 29, left Anfield at the end of last season following the conclusion of his contract.
Last week he travelled to Istanbul ahead of a potential transfer.
And in an official club statement this morning, Besiktas confirmed: “Negotiations have started with the player regarding the transfer of Professional Football Player Alexander Mark David Oxlade-Chamberlain.”
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that the deal has already been agreed between the two parties.
He adds that Oxlade-Chamberlain will join Besiktas on a three-year contract.
The midfielder signed for Liverpool in a deal worth around £35million from Arsenal in 2017.
He went on to play 146 times for Jurgen Klopp’s side, scoring 18 goals and laying on 15 assists.
Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered with persistent injuries during his six-year stint at Anfield.
