Beşiktaş winger Ricardo Quaresma is set to return to Porto next month, Turkish website NTV Spor reported yesterday.

The Portuguese winger will terminate his contract with the club and will sign a deal with Porto, where he spent four seasons between until 2008, it added. Quaresma, who has also played with Inter, Barcelona and Chelsea, moved to Beşiktaş in 2010 as a marquee signing. However, he fell out of favor after refusing an offer of a cut in his salary at the cash-strapped club and was not used at the club this season.
“Q7” will make a free transfer and will give up his compensation, it was reported.
