Mohamed Salah Set for SPL or MLS Move

Mohamed Salah officially left Liverpool when his contract ran out at the end of June, becoming one of the biggest free agents in world football. The 34‑year‑old, who earned £400k per week at Anfield, chose to part ways a year early, setting up a high‑profile destination hunt. Salah’s departure leaves a noticeable gap at the club, where he is still ranked as the fourth‑best player in Liverpool’s history. He is currently on a break after Egypt’s early exit from the FIFA World Cup, a loss that saw him face Lionel Messi and Argentina.

Two Destinations in the Final Mix

According to a recent report, Salah has trimmed his options to just two continents: Saudi Arabia’s Pro League and the United States’ MLS. Teams in the Gulf kingdom have been circling him for years, first emerging in 2023 when Al‑Ittihad showed interest. Meanwhile, American clubs such as Inter Miami, Sporting KC and San Diego FC have all been linked to the two‑time African Footballer of the Year. The player’s camp is now weighing which market offers the right blend of ambition, financial incentive and personal goals.

Saudi League Locks In a Deal

The Saudi Pro League appears ready to welcome Salah, with sources indicating a deal in principle is already agreed between the player and the league. League officials have spent years crafting a plan to sign a marquee name, seeing Salah as the ideal figurehead to boost global exposure. Al‑Ittihad of Jeddah and Al‑Ahli are the front‑runners, though Neom FC could also enter the picture. The clubs are understood to be competing for Salah’s signature, each offering lucrative contracts to win the race.

MLS Clubs Eye a Star Signing

In the MLS, several franchises have made clear their interest in adding Salah to their rosters. Inter Miami, Sporting Kansas City and San Diego FC have all been connected with a move for the Egyptian winger. The league’s growing reputation for attracting international talent makes it an attractive option for a player looking for a new challenge. While the Saudi side seems closer to sealing the agreement, the American clubs remain in the mix, hoping to sway Salah with their own proposals.

European Teams Still in the Picture

Despite the narrowing focus on the SPL and MLS, European clubs have not abandoned hope of landing Salah. Roma and Juventus in Serie A, as well as Turkey’s powerhouses Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, have expressed interest in signing the former Anfield star. These clubs see Salah as a proven scorer who could instantly elevate their attacking options. However, with a Saudi agreement reportedly already in place, the European suitors face an uphill battle to match the offered terms.

The next few weeks will be decisive for Salah’s future, as he weighs the league’s ambition against personal and family considerations. Whichever destination he chooses, the move will mark the end of an era at Liverpool and the start of a new chapter for the player. Fans and observers alike will watch closely as the final decision is made, knowing that the race for Salah’s signature has reached its climax.
