On Tuesday, Mohamed Salah confirmed via his social media that he will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the season, marking the end of an era. The Egyptian superstar has been a constant presence at the club, racking up 255 goals in 435 appearances and cementing himself as one of the club’s all-time greats. During his time with the Reds, he lifted the Premier League title twice, claimed two Golden Boots, and played a key role in their UEFA Champions League triumph. Add to that three PFA Player of the Year awards, plus both FA Cup and EFL Cup titles, and his legacy speaks for itself.
But as with all great stories, this chapter is coming to an end. And while Salah has given so much to Liverpool, his next move is already sparking global interest, with top clubs across the world likely lining up for his signature. So, where could he go next? Let’s take a look at some of the most likely possibilities.
Saudi Pro League
Mohamed Salah has long been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, with previous interest from Al-Ittihad already making headlines, but that approach was ultimately turned down. But if anything, the league’s ambition to land him has only intensified since.
However, timing could prove to be a factor. The Saudi Pro League is currently on pause from March 14 to April 3, a scheduled break that comes amid growing regional tensions. While the league has attempted to maintain its calendar, the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel has already caused disruptions across football in the region, including postponed matches and logistical challenges. Still, despite the uncertainty, Saudi clubs remain among the strongest contenders for Salah’s signature.
San Diego FC
Despite only being in its second season of Major League Soccer action, San Diego FC can’t be ruled out as a potential destination. Owned by British-Egyptian businessman Mohamed Mansour, the club has previously shown interest in bringing Mohamed Salah to the U.S., a move that would instantly elevate its global profile.
There’s also a potential opening in the squad. If Hirving Lozano’s future is resolved, it could free up both space and resources, making a deal for Salah even more realistic.
Roma
A return to AS Roma would feel like a full-circle moment for Mohamed Salah, a chance to revisit the club that played such a pivotal role in shaping his rise, while still competing at the highest level.
With Gian Piero Gasperini potentially guiding Roma back into the UEFA Champions League, the timing could be perfect. The club is already within touching distance of a top-four finish in Italy, and adding a player of Salah’s caliber would not only strengthen their European ambitions but also instantly elevate the squad. For Roma, it would be more than just a signing; it would be a statement. And for Salah, it could be a powerful return to familiar ground.
Paris Saint-Germain
Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain has also been linked with Mohamed Salah in the past, and just imagine if last season’s UEFA Champions League winners threw their hat into the race.
With world-class talents like Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leading the line, PSG’s fluid, attacking style could suit Salah perfectly, reminiscent of the synergy he enjoyed at Liverpool FC alongside Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino. Beyond the attack, PSG’s squad depth provides plenty of rotation options, giving Salah the space to shine without being overworked.
Barcelona
If a marquee free agent is available, FC Barcelona certainly can’t be ruled out. While the club would ideally like to extend Marcus Rashford’s loan for another season, any transfer fee demands from Manchester United could push Barcelona to explore other high-profile options.
Financial constraints have long been a challenge for the giants, but LaLiga’s restrictions, which tie signings to club revenue, make free-agent deals far more feasible. Adding Mohamed Salah could be transformative: he could operate on the right flank, allowing Lamine Yamal to step into the No. 10 role, where he has shone at times this season, with Raphinha on the left wing.
In the end, with Mohamed Salah’s announcement still fresh, the future remains wide open; only time will tell which club will have the chance to land the Egyptian superstar next.
