Mohamed Salah next club: Saudi Pro League, US or Europe
BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years, with Saudi Arabia and the MLS being the most likely destinations for the 33-year-old forward.
- Saudi Arabia's Pro League, backed by the Public Investment Fund, is keen to attract Salah, with clubs like Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Nassr showing strong interest, especially given his status as a leading Muslim footballer.
- Financially, the Saudi league can easily afford Salah, with wages surpassing those of Cristiano Ronaldo, but geopolitical concerns, such as the Middle East conflict, may influence his decision.
- The MLS also presents an attractive option, with the Designated Player rule allowing teams to pay top wages; Inter Miami, with the highest wage bill, has shown interest, and league officials have publicly encouraged Salah to consider a move.
- A transfer to a top European club is less likely due to financial and squad considerations, leaving the Saudi Pro League and MLS as the primary contenders for Salah's next career move.
