Mohamed Salah Set to Receive Offers from MLS Clubs
Mohamed Salah to Receive MLS Offers
Mohamed Salah, the 34-year-old Egyptian football legend, is set to receive offers from MLS clubs as he considers his future after leaving Liverpool. The 34-year-old has spent time in the USA with Egypt during the World Cup, and clubs are hopeful he will make a permanent move to the MLS.
What Happened?
According to sources, MLS clubs are preparing offers for Salah, who has been enjoying his time in the USA. The 34-year-old has been a key player for Liverpool, but his future is now uncertain as he considers his options. Salah has spent the last few weeks in the USA with Egypt, before they were eventually knocked out of the World Cup in dramatic fashion against Lionel Messi's Argentina.
Why It Matters for Mohamed Salah
Salah's decision to consider a move to the MLS could be a significant one for the 34-year-old. The MLS has seen a number of high-profile signings in recent years, including Robert Lewandowski, who joined Chicago Fire earlier this summer. Salah may be tempted to follow in the footsteps of Lionel Messi, who has enjoyed plenty of success since making the switch to the MLS.
What Comes Next?
Salah is now officially a free agent after leaving Liverpool on 30 June, and the discussions over his future are expected to ramp up. He is expected to consider a number of offers from clubs in Europe, America, and Saudi Arabia, with MLS clubs growing in confidence that he can be convinced. Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, a source explained: "Obviously now that Mo Salah is not concentrating on the World Cup, that will probably speed things up, with regards to his future. There's nothing set in stone, there hasn't been a massive chance since he left Liverpool at the end of the season. There's interest from some MLS clubs as well who would like to make him their latest marquee signing this summer."
Other Clubs Interested in Signing Salah
Despite a growing belief among the clubs that Salah could be tempted to make a permanent move to the MLS, they are far from the only ones aiming to lure him in. Saudi Pro League clubs have been most active in their interest, having initially tried to lure the Egypt international to the Middle East two seasons ago. However, Football Insider revealed on 20 May that European giants AC Milan are interested in signing Salah and could make a move to beat Saudi clubs to his signature.
A Return to Italy?
A return to Italy is seen as increasingly feasible for the 33-year-old winger, with it being far from nailed on that he will move to Saudi Arabia this summer. Salah loved his time in the Serie A with Fiorentina and Roma, and could be tempted to return to Italy with Milan despite what proved to be a poor season last time out.
