A prominent Egyptian football official has strongly advised Liverpool star Mohamed Salah against a potential move to Major League Soccer (MLS), urging him instead to consider a transfer to Saudi Arabia’s Pro League. This counsel comes amidst concerns that Salah could, like Lionel Messi, see his global profile and competitive edge diminish by joining the American league.
The official suggested that Salah would be better served by emulating Cristiano Ronaldo, who has notably thrived and maintained a high level of visibility in the Saudi league since his high-profile move. The message is clear: pursue a league that offers both strong financial incentives and continued sporting relevance, rather than one perceived as a step towards “obscurity” for top-tier talents.
