Mo Salah’s Next Move: MLS and Saudi Pro League in the Mix After World Cup
Egypt came close to toppling Argentina, but their World Cup run ended sooner than hoped. With the tournament behind him, Mohamed Salah now faces a new challenge: choosing his next club.
His contract with Liverpool has expired, leaving him a free agent. Salah delayed making any decisions until the World Cup wrapped up, but that moment is here.
Where Could Salah Land?
European giants will likely remain interested, but recent buzz suggests two major suitors: Major League Soccer (MLS) in the United States and the Saudi Pro League. Money-wise, the Saudi league probably offers a bigger paycheck.
If Salah wants to explore the American soccer scene, MLS has shown it can attract stars, as seen with Lionel Messi’s move. The transfer chatter caught ESPN's attention:
"Major League Soccer clubs have made calls to look into the availability of Mohamed Salah, who has been a free agent since the expiry of his Liverpool contract and continues to receive attention from the Saudi Pro League, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The 34-year-old has previously refused to commit to deciding his future, but now the World Cup is over the Egypt international will make a decision."
Salah doesn’t need to rush this choice, but handling it soon makes sense. He might even explore MLS options while already in the U.S., though nothing specific has been reported on that front.
No matter where he lands, Salah’s next chapter will be closely watched. He's a modern football legend with plenty left to offer.
