Reports suggest a growing debate over the future of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah after confirming his departure at the end of the season, opening the door to multiple transfer possibilities.

Speculation has mainly focused on a potential move to either the Saudi Pro League or Major League Soccer, with reported interest from Inter Miami, who are looking to strengthen their squad with global stars.

Statements Fuel the Discussion
In this context, Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan stirred controversy by advising Salah against moving to MLS, stating that such a move could reduce his visibility. He also pointed out a financial obstacle, explaining that the league’s salary structure may not match Salah’s market value.

He added that the Saudi league currently offers stronger competition, especially with the presence of several world-class players, making it a more suitable option at this stage of Salah’s career.

MLS Responds Firmly
On the other hand, MLS Commissioner Don Garber responded by defending the league, emphasizing that it features top names, including Lionel Messi, and continues to grow in both quality and global recognition.

He also expressed surprise at the criticism, noting that the league’s infrastructure and competitive level have significantly improved, making it an attractive destination for international players.

Salah’s future remains open, with fans eagerly waiting for his final decision, which could mark a significant new chapter in his career.
