According to Yeni Safak, the Istanbul outfit tore the versatile midfielder's deal after paying him a hefty severance fee.
The same source claims Besiktas paid £1.2million in order to release the former England international.
That would pose as a cheaper price than to pay the former Arsenal star's remaining wages.
The ex-Liverpool ace's contract with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side ran until 2026.
Sources told SunSport Oxlade-Chamberlain fell out of favour in Solskjaer's eyes ahead of the coming season.
The same sources claim Besiktas initially wanted to pay the ex- Southampton star's severance in instalments.
However, the central midfielder refused to accept and a meeting took place where a final decision was made to pay everything in full.
Oxlade-Chamberlain amassed a mere total of five goals and one assist in 50 appearances with Besiktas.
The former Premier League ace's future is currently uncertain after his exit from the Turkish outfit.
Besiktas, though, will still have English representation this coming season.
Solskjaer's side signed ex-Chelsea ace Tammy Abraham on loan from Roma.
