MLS opens doors to Salah: a blockbuster bid that could rewrite his finish line

MLS Enters the Race for Salah

Initial teaser: On Salah, heed Messi's counsel.

The circle of clubs interested in signing the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah has widened, after the American soccer league joined the race to recruit him, as the player enters an unprecedented state of tension at Liverpool following his provocative remarks that sparked a major crisis within the club.

Salah, aged 33, made shocking remarks after the draw with Leeds United, saying he no longer has 'any relationship' with coach Arne Slot, insisting he felt he was 'pushed under the bus', signaling his sense of marginalization and being blamed for responsibilities not his.

Just two days later, the player was surprised by his exclusion from Liverpool's squad to face Inter Milan in the Champions League, further fueling the debate about his near and distant future at the club.

What It Means for Liverpool and Beyond

While Saudi clubs are watching the situation closely, this time a new move emerged... but from the United States.

MLS commissioner Don Garber revealed a clear desire to attract Salah to the MLS, confirming that the door is wide open for Liverpool's all-time top scorer.

"Of course, if Mohamed Salah decides to come to the MLS, we will welcome him with open arms," Garber said in statements cited by The Daily Mail.

He added: "He should talk with Lionel Messi and Thomas Muller to see how their lives changed here, how they succeeded, and how the league embraced them."

But Garber returned to stress respect for Salah's contractual situation with Liverpool: "We believe in the sanctity of contracts. Salah is under contract with Liverpool, a great club, and that must be respected."

Note: If Salah moves, the MLS would gain not only a star but a story that transcends borders—a headline factory with a hyper-creative fanbase and the promise of cross-continental rivalries.

Punchline 1: If Salah signs with MLS, defenders will start fouling him out of admiration—and still claim it’s for tactical reasons. Punchline 2: Meanwhile, my calendar remains open to a transfer of weekends to match his pace—some things never offside, especially my commute.
