Mohamed Salah's potential next club after leaving Liverpool, plus MLS teams eying a move for the Egyptian international.
After nine seasons at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah announced that he will be leaving the club in pursuit of the next chapter in his career.
Salah has played for Liverpool since 2017, scoring 257 goals in 442 appearances for the English club. The 34-year-old has carved out an incredibly impressive career at Liverpool, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League and surpassing Didier Drogba for the most goals by an African player in the UEFA Champions League (50)
The veteran winger is nearing the end of his career but proved he still has plenty to offer during the 2026 World Cup with Egypt. Salah led the Pharaohs to their first-ever World Cup win against New Zealand and helped them not only reach the knockout stage but also win their first knockout match against Iran.
Salah scored one goal and provided two assists in the tournament before Egypt were heartbreakingly eliminated by Argentina in the Round of 16.
With Egypt's World Cup run concluded, Mohamed Salah will have plenty of time to choose his next destination. Let's take a look at some possible suitors.
Possible Landing Spots for Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has already received many offers from around the globe, including from the Saudi Pro League, MLS, and several European clubs.
Linked European Teams
Although nearly any team in the world would be interested in signing Salah on a free transfer, a few clubs have emerged as the most likely suitors for the Egyptian. Teams heavily linked with Salah include Fenerbahçe (Türkiye), Galatasaray (Türkiye), Atlético Madrid (Spain), and AS Roma (Italy).
Fenerbahçe is one of the top teams in Türkiye and has reportedly already made informal salary offers to gauge his interest.
Alternatively, Salah could return to his former club, AS Roma, as they pursue UEFA Champions League qualification while embarking on a UEFA Europa League campaign for the 2026/27 season.
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has long been linked with a move for Mohamed Salah, given his global profile, his veteran status, and the cultural and religious ties between the region and the Egyptian forward. Clubs such as Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al-Qadsiah have all expressed interest. Notably, Al-Ittihad has reportedly tabled a record-breaking financial package that would make the Egyptian the league's highest earner.
MLS
Mohamed Salah would be a dream signing for MLS, following the league’s acquisition of Lionel Messi a few years ago, alongside the arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Antoine Griezmann this summer. Salah could join these established stars in the US to further boost the popularity and competitiveness of the league.
Inter Miami's management has long dreamt of pairing Salah with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez to form a formidable attacking trio, though there are significant doubts regarding their ability to meet his salary demands.
San Diego FC could be another potential destination for Salah, who may find the prospect of living in Southern California difficult to turn down. The club's owner, Mohamed Mansour, is a British-Egyptian billionaire who has long admired the forward and could be the key to convincing him to join the newest MLS franchise.
