Reports linking Mohamed Salah to Inter Miami have been emphatically rejected by those close to the club and to the story. Fabrizio Romano used his YouTube channel on Friday to clarify the situation, saying the Miami outfit are not currently working on a deal for the departing Liverpool forward.<\/p>\n
The wider context is well known: Salah has been associated with both Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League in recent weeks, a tug of war for the 33-year-old. MLS is not able to match the financial power of the Saudi competition, but it has become a destination for established stars late in their careers, headlined by Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n
MLS commissioner Don Garber offered his view at the Sports Business Journal conference in Atlanta, saying, \u201cMo Salah is one of the great players in the history of the Premier League … I\u2019d love to see him in our league.\u201d He added, \u201cI couldn\u2019t say that until he announced he was leaving Liverpool. What a great player he would be in MLS, and I think we would provide him with a great platform.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, Romano was clear about Inter Miami\u2019s position. \u201cGuys, let me clarify this very clearly: Inter Miami are not in negotiations to sign Mo Salah,\u201d he said. \u201cDespite reports, despite stories, Inter Miami are not focusing their efforts on Mohamed Salah.\u201d Romano also noted the wider uncertainty around Salah\u2019s next move: \u201cThat means we will have a lot of reports, a lot of stories, but Mohamed Salah has not made a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
Salah remains contracted to Liverpool until 2027, but he will depart the club as a free agent at the end of the season, with his final Premier League appearance at Anfield on May 24. As a free agent, any approach will come directly to the player rather than through Liverpool, which is likely to generate continued speculation. For now, despite talk of a blockbuster partnership with Messi at Inter Miami, the reports of active negotiations are unfounded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
