Aged 33, Mohamed Salah should not take long to find his new club. Even if he no longer has stratospheric statistics like the past seasons, he left a big legacy that should allow him to bounce back very quickly.
Several contenders already in the running
Since the announcement of his departure from Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has already been leading the summer transfer market without it being open. Several clubs have already positioned themselves to take a little more of the lead in this matter.
The right wing has touches in Saudi Arabia. Al-Ittihad, Al-Qadsiah, and Al-Nassr would already be on the record. Al Ittihad is a long-standing target for the Pharaoh. The Saudi club tried to recruit him already last summer. Finally, the native of Nagrig decided to continue with the Reds. It would be a very serious track at the end of the season.
Major European clubs are said to have shown their interest in Mohamed Salah. FC Barcelona and PSG would have an eye on the track leading to Egypt’s captain. According to information from Calciomercato, Naples is closely following this case and could go on the offensive. As for the player’s entourage, they do not rule out the possibility of a return to Italy after having proven themselves under the colors of AS Roma. According to Aro, it will also be necessary to count with Galatasaray at the end of the season.
MLS franchises would already be attempting a probable signature by Salah. There is a real competition between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
Stay or leave Europe?
It is the question that bothers minds. Should Salah leave or continue in Europe? Ibrahim Hassan, Egypt’s deputy coach, gave his opinion. For him, the captain of the Pharaohs must dismiss the MLS:
«Personally, I would prefer that he stay in Europe. I heard about offers from Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and clubs in the Italian Championship. A transfer to the Major League? It would be far too far from the spotlight. Salah wouldn’t be remembered any more than I remember (Lionel) Messi today, I don’t even try to look at him. if he doesn’t get offers from Europe, then a transfer to the Saudi league would be a good option, especially with big names such as Cristiano (Ronaldo).
he told On Sports.
At 33 years old, Mohamed Salah must make a wise choice for his future. A club that must allow him to maintain his form at the highest level and to have challenges. He must join a team that has ambition and plays the leading roles. Returning to Serie A would not be a bad choice. Naples, which aims for the title in Italy every season, would be a good exit after long years spent with Liverpool and in the Premier League.
The other interesting track is the Saudi Pro League. The Saudi championship continues to progress. There, the Pharaoh can combine competitiveness with astronomical salary. The clubs of the kingdom are immensely rich and spend without counting. They offer XXL remunerations. And the Egyptian would not make the exception.
Currently in the infirmary due to a muscle injury, Mohamed Salah has scored 10 goals and delivered 9 assists in 34 games with the Reds. Involved in 19 goals this season for the club, the former member of Basel’s staff is still performing well and will certainly find a club that matches his ambitions next summer.
