Mohamed Salah is carefully considering his next career move after ending his time with Liverpool, with the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer emerging as the leading options for the Egyptian captain.
The future of one of football’s most recognised forwards remains undecided, as Salah evaluates offers and considers the best destination for the next stage of his career.
Reports from the English press say Salah has chosen not to rush his decision after becoming a free agent following his departure from Liverpool.
The 2026 World Cup exit of the Egyptian national team has allowed Salah and his representatives to focus more closely on negotiations over his future.
According to TeamTalk, the player is currently considering opportunities in Saudi Arabia and the United States, despite interest from clubs in Europe.
The report suggests that remaining in European football is now becoming increasingly unlikely, with the competition appearing to be focused mainly between the Saudi league and MLS.
Saudi Pro League remains leading option
The Saudi Professional League is considered the strongest possibility for Salah at this stage.
Several Saudi clubs have shown interest in bringing the Egyptian forward to the competition, including Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli and Neom.
A key factor in Salah’s thinking is believed to be location.
Clubs based in the western region of Saudi Arabia would allow him to remain relatively close to Egypt, while also making travel to Cairo easier.
The report added that there is already a preliminary agreement between Salah and the Saudi Professional League, although the player has not selected the club he would represent if he chooses a move to the Kingdom.
The Saudi league has continued attracting some of the world’s biggest football names, and Salah’s arrival would represent another major addition to its growing profile.
MLS provides another alternative
While Saudi Arabia appears to be the closest destination, the American league remains a serious option.
Inter Miami are among the clubs interested in signing Salah, although completing a deal could present financial difficulties.
The club has recently strengthened its squad, including the signing of Brazilian player Casemiro, which could affect its ability to complete another major transfer.
Another possible destination is San Diego, whose ownership includes Egyptian-born billionaire Sir Mohamed Mansour.
The opportunity to live in California, combined with the club’s ownership connection, could make the move attractive to Salah and his representatives.
European interest remains limited
The report also stated that several European clubs have made enquiries about Salah’s availability.
However, a continued stay in Europe appears less likely compared with the options in Saudi Arabia and the United States.
After a highly successful period at Liverpool, where he became one of the Premier League’s leading attacking players, Salah is now preparing for what could be the next major chapter of his career.
His performances have also continued on the international stage, with the Egyptian forward playing a key role in the country’s historic World Cup campaign before their elimination in the round of 16.
Decision expected after careful consideration
Salah is not expected to make an immediate announcement.
The report said the Egyptian star wants to examine every available offer before making a final decision.
Given his global reputation and status as one of football’s most marketable players, his next move is expected to become one of the biggest stories of the summer transfer window.
Whether Salah chooses Saudi Arabia, the United States or another destination, the decision will shape the final years of a career that has already established him as one of Egypt’s greatest footballers.
