Besiktas have terminated the contract of Ricardo Quaresma after a meeting with the player on Wednesday.

The termination was amicable and was mutually accepted by both parties, making the 29-year-old available for a free transfer.

It is understood the Turkish side have paid the winger for the remaining four months on his current deal that was due to expire in the spring.
