According to GiveMeSport, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is now linked with a surprise move to the MLS, with American club San Diego expressing interest in signing the Egyptian forward.

San Diego has already made waves by securing signings like ex-Manchester United player Paddy McNair and former Nottingham Forest star Alex Mighten. They now have their sights set on Salah, who has been in fine form this season under Arne Slot.

Uncertain future for Salah, Alexander-Arnold, and Van Dijk

Salah is one of three key Liverpool players whose future at the club remains uncertain due to contract situations. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are also in the final year of their contracts, with Alexander-Arnold linked to Real Madrid.

Reports suggest that San Diego is serious about landing Salah when he becomes a free agent. Backed by British-Egyptian businessman Mohamed Mansour, the MLS side is eager to make Salah their marquee signing alongside Hirving Lozano.

It remains to be seen whether Salah would consider moving to the United States, but the offer is expected to be significant. With interest from multiple parties, Salah is expected to have no shortage of options when he decides to leave Liverpool.

Salah still leading Liverpool’s attack

Despite the uncertainty around his future, Salah continues to shine for Liverpool. In just seven Premier League matches this season, he has scored four goals and provided four assists, proving he is still one of the best in his position.

Liverpool would do well to retain their star attacker for a few more years, as Salah remains a crucial part of their success. Letting him leave when he still has much to offer at the top level may not be the wisest move for the club.
