Mohamed Salah to Leave Liverpool for MLS Next Summer
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is likely to return to the fold at Anfield after AFCON, before moving to America in the summer transfer window, Richard Keys has claimed.
It’s been an interesting situation surrounding Salah in recent weeks, with the Egyptian forward embroiled in controversy after he called out the club and Arne Slot in an explosive interview. Salah suggested that the club were throwing him under the bus, also claiming that his relationship with Slot had broken down.
Salah’s interview came off the back of being dropped to the bench for three consecutive games, which the former Chelsea forward clearly couldn’t understand. Salah was omitted from Liverpool’s Champions League squad to face Inter Milan a few days later, but he returned off the bench against Brighton on the weekend.
Richard Keys: Mohamed Salah to Leave Liverpool for America
Writing in his blog, Keys has claimed that after speaking to his ‘Arabic colleagues’, Salah is expected to return to the Liverpool fold once he returns from the African Cup of Nations. However, a move to the MLS could be on the cards next summer, Keys has hinted.
“I’ll share with you what a lot of my Arabic colleagues are telling me about Salah. The smart money is on a return to the fold post AFCON, and a move in the summer – to America.”
A move to America would certainly be an interesting one for Salah, considering the rumours surrounding a transfer to Saudi Arabia over the last few years. GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed that Salah is a target for Saudi clubs ahead of the January transfer window, with Al-Hilal one of the frontrunners if he were to move to the Middle East.
Liverpool Need Swift Solution in Salah Situation
Whatever the solution to the Salah situation, Liverpool need to ensure that it’s resolved as soon as possible. With the Egyptian jetting off to AFCON this month, there’s unlikely to be a solution in the coming weeks, but the Reds won’t want something dragging on over the course of the January window.
What the ideal solution truly is remains to be seen, as Salah has undoubtedly let Liverpool down this season in terms of his performances. However, Salah does have an inevitability to his game, and you’d expect him to turn things around pretty quickly if Slot were to bring him in as a regular starter again.
