Mohamed Salah has confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, bringing an end to one of the most iconic eras in Premier League history.
After nearly a decade at Anfield, over 250 goals, and multiple major trophies, the Egyptian King will walk away as a free agent. Now, the big question is simple – where does he go next?

Why Is Salah Leaving Liverpool?
Salah’s departure has been building for some time.
Reports throughout the season suggested tensions behind the scenes, including a strained relationship with manager Arne Slot and frustration over his role within the team. While nothing has been explicitly confirmed, it’s clear this is not a sudden decision.
At 33, Salah is also entering the final phase of his career, and this move represents one last major chapter.
Saudi Arabia: The Most Likely Destination?
A move to the Saudi Pro League has been on the table for years.
Liverpool rejected huge bids for Salah in the past, but now, as a free agent, the situation is completely different. Saudi clubs have both the financial power and the long-term interest to make this happen.
Clubs like Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have all been linked, and the appeal is obvious. A global superstar, a huge commercial figure, and one of the biggest names in world football.
For Salah, it would be a move that combines legacy, influence, and a final big contract.
MLS Move: A New Chapter in America?
Another realistic option is Major League Soccer.
There has already been talk of a potential move to the United States, with the possibility of linking up with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami grabbing headlines.
The timing also makes sense. With the 2026 World Cup set to take place across the USA, Canada and Mexico, Salah moving to MLS would keep him in the spotlight on a global stage.
It would be a very different challenge, but one that fits the profile of a superstar entering the later years of his career.
Could He Stay in Europe?
While less likely, staying in Europe cannot be ruled out.
A return to Roma would carry strong emotional appeal. It was in Italy where Salah truly exploded onto the scene before his move to Liverpool, and a reunion could make sense for both player and club.
Paris Saint-Germain are another possibility, given their financial strength and constant push to add elite attacking talent.
There have even been links to Spain, with clubs like Barcelona or Real Madrid occasionally mentioned, although their current attacking depth – and his age – makes a move more complicated.
The Legacy Factor
Where Salah goes next may come down to what he values most.
Does he want one final competitive challenge at the highest level in Europe? Or does he choose a move that expands his global influence and secures his long-term future off the pitch?
What is certain is that he leaves Liverpool as one of the greatest players in the club’s history.
What Happens Next?
For now, even Salah’s camp have made it clear that no final decision has been made.
That only adds to the intrigue.
One of the biggest players of the modern era is available on a free transfer, and the entire football world is watching to see where he lands next.
