What must the American side persuade the Pharaoh to seal the deal?
Inter Miami eye Salah on a free transfer
In a development that could shake up the summer transfer market, Inter Miami has expressed strong interest in signing Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, who announced his official departure from Liverpool at the end of the current season.
According to Football Insider, Inter Miami is pursuing Salah on a free transfer, seeing him as the player capable of making the difference for the squad, just as Son Heung-min has done for Los Angeles this season.
Salah is seen as a quality addition that would bolster the attack of a side already boasting stars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Jordi Alba, potentially making Inter Miami one of the league’s most dangerous teams next season.
Yet, the financial hurdle remains the main obstacle to completing the deal. The report notes Salah’s hefty wage demands could pose a significant challenge for Inter Miami’s management, who will need either to convince the player to take a pay cut or to meet his financial demands in full.

Salah is set to end his brilliant Liverpool career after nine trophy-laden seasons, contributing to many titles and leaving an indelible mark on the club’s history.
Punchline 1: If Inter Miami pulls this off, MLS will finally need a bigger trophy cabinet—and maybe a bigger sunscreen for the press room.
Punchline 2: Salah to the American sunny coast would be the season’s plot twist even Hollywood couldn’t script any better.
