Mohamed Salah confirmed on Tuesday that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, posting an emotional farewell on social media that the club then confirmed minutes later. The announcement has prompted immediate debate over where the Egyptian international will continue his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not know where Mohamed will play next season,\u201d Salah\u2019s agent Ramy Abbas said, per Fabrizio Romano . \u201cThis also means that no one else knows.\u201d<\/p>\n
Options span leagues and continents. The Major League Soccer route has gained traction as a realistic possibility. James Pearce actually gave credence to an MLS transfer for Salah back in February. \u201cThe MLS is another possible destination for him,\u201d Pearce said onThe Athletic\u2019sWalk On podcast. \u201cIt\u2019s been suggested to me that actually is more appealing in many ways than the Saudi Pro League.\u201d The U.S. league has grown since Lionel Messi\u2019s move to Inter Miami in 2023 and will benefit from increased attention ahead of the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n
San Diego FC is frequently cited as a likely MLS landing spot. The club is backed by Mohamed Mansour, and Hirving Lozano\u2019s expected departure this summer could open a Designated Player spot for Salah.<\/p>\n
The Saudi Pro League also remains a possibility, with reports linking Salah to Al Hilal as well as NEOM SC and Al-Qadsiah, and with Al Ittihad having made a failed $200 million bid on deadline day in 2023. Al Ittihad revisited interest last summer, and the league has shown capacity to offer very large contracts. For comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo earns a base salary of over $200 million annually at Al-Nassr, while Messi\u2019s base salary is cited as $12 million.<\/p>\n
There is also the chance Salah remains in Europe and continues in the Champions League. Galatasaray is mentioned as the most logical continental option should he choose to stay.<\/p>\n
The coming weeks are likely to produce clarity, but for now the decision remains open as Salah prepares to depart Liverpool at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
