MLS and Saudi Pro League Linked With Liverpool Star
Mohamed Salah is once again at the center of transfer speculation, with reports suggesting he could have the option of moving either to Major League Soccer or the Saudi Pro League when the summer transfer window opens. The Liverpool forward has long been associated with interest from the Middle East, but fresh claims indicate that clubs in the United States are also monitoring his situation.
The Egyptian winger remains under contract at Liverpool FC until 2027 after signing an improved extension on Merseyside. Despite that agreement, questions surrounding his long-term future have not completely disappeared.
Frustration at Anfield
Salah’s future came under renewed scrutiny following a public show of frustration earlier in the season. After being left out of the starting lineup by head coach Arne Slot, the forward voiced his displeasure and suggested he felt unfairly treated during a challenging period for the club.
While he has since returned to regular involvement following Africa Cup of Nations duty, his scoring record in the Premier League has slowed. The 33-year-old has not found the net in league action since early November and has registered seven goals this campaign, a modest tally compared to the prolific standards he established during more than eight years in English football.
Liverpool must now consider whether to retain their long-serving star or capitalize on potential offers while his contract still holds significant value. With the summer window approaching, discussions about his next move are expected to intensify.
Saudi Pro League Interest Remains Strong
Clubs in Saudi Arabia have been linked with Salah for several transfer windows. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, interest from the region is expected to resurface in the coming months. Teams are believed to be preparing renewed approaches in an effort to secure one of the Premier League’s most recognizable figures.
Al-Ittihad Club has previously been mentioned among the suitors. The Saudi side is seeking to reinforce its squad with established global stars and could revisit discussions should the opportunity arise. Romano has suggested that multiple clubs in the league are attentive to Salah’s situation and could enter formal negotiations.
The Saudi Pro League has already attracted high-profile names in recent seasons, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently represents Al-Nassr FC. Continued investment in star power remains central to the league’s growth strategy, and Salah would represent another marquee acquisition.
MLS Monitoring Situation
Alongside interest from the Middle East, Major League Soccer teams are reportedly keeping a close watch. The league has demonstrated its ability to draw elite talent, highlighted by the arrival of Lionel Messi at Inter Miami CF.
Romano has indicated that MLS franchises could consider entering the conversation if Salah becomes available. North America’s expanding market and competitive profile make it an alternative pathway for players seeking a new challenge later in their careers.
Although no official proposals have materialized, the summer window is viewed as a potential turning point. Whether concrete bids emerge may depend on Liverpool’s stance and Salah’s personal ambitions.
Debate Over Salah’s Future
Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore believes a summer departure is plausible. He has suggested that squad evolution under Arne Slot may influence decisions regarding senior figures. According to Collymore, balancing emerging signings with established stars could shape the club’s direction.
Speculation has also touched upon Virgil van Dijk, as Liverpool assesses how to manage transitions within the squad. The integration of new attacking talents may further fuel discussions about Salah’s long-term role.
Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounds Ronaldo’s future in Riyadh, leading to suggestions that Al-Nassr FC could seek a replacement should circumstances change. Such developments would add another dimension to the transfer narrative.
For now, Salah remains a Liverpool player and continues to focus on the remainder of the season. However, with Saudi Pro League sides and MLS clubs reportedly attentive, the coming months may determine whether he follows Messi to the United States, Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia, or remains at Anfield beyond the summer.
