Egypt Warns Salah over MLS Move
Egypt's national team director warns MLS could diminish Salah's global profile and recommends the Saudi Pro League as a better alternative if he leaves Europe.
- Egypt's national team director Ibrahim Hassan cautioned Mohamed Salah against moving to Major League Soccer, warning the forward would fade into obscurity away from European competitions.
- Salah, 33, concludes a nine-year Liverpool spell this season, having won two Premier League titles and the Champions League. Hassan noted the Saudi Pro League remains a suitable alternative if European offers fail.
- "Personally, I would prefer him to stay in Europe," Hassan told Sports, comparing potential moves to Lionel Messi, whom he rarely watches in the United States.
- Conversely, San Diego FC owner Mohamed Mansour told the AFP on Thursday that Salah would be an "asset" for any team, praising the forward's global standing.
- MLS Commissioner Don Garber expressed interest in signing Salah, though no deal is confirmed as the forward remains sidelined by injury while Egypt prepares for the World Cup in North America.
