The 2 clubs that want to sign Mohamed Salah in January

The situation of Mohamed Salah has become one of the great enigmas of the winter transfer market. The veteran forward from Liverpool seems to have lost patience with his current role and is facing disagreements after his controversy with coach Arne Slot.

This tension fuels exit rumors. In this context, clubs like San Diego FC and Al Hilal have rekindled their interest in signing him.

Mohamed Salah in the eye of the storm

Mohamed Salah has experienced a tough start to the season. This campaign has seen his impact diminished: just five goals and three assists in 19 official matches. The biggest setback came after the latest defeat, when he was benched for the third consecutive game. His post-match comments—complaining of feeling "used as a scapegoat" and questioning the treatment received—have set off all alarms.

Liverpool's management seemed to side with the coach, reinforcing the feeling that the forward's cycle could be coming to an end. Faced with this scenario, several clubs have rekindled their offensive to sign the Egyptian.

San Diego FC and Al Hilal, unexpected rivals for Salah

Among the interested parties are San Diego FC, an emerging franchise in Major League Soccer that could tempt Salah with its financial attractiveness and the promise of a new challenge in the United States. On the other hand, Al Hilal represents the option of a return to the Middle East, with potent offers and the possibility to play in a more economically relaxed environment.

The Saudi league maintains its ambition to attract global stars, and Mohamed Salah possesses all the attributes to be a high-profile signing. Al Hilal could offer him a lucrative contract and immediate prominence, especially if the intention to stay at Anfield continues to deteriorate.

Meanwhile, San Diego FC represents a different proposal: a boost for the MLS, a new lifestyle, and a possible prominent role within a growing project. The presence of such diverse suitors suggests that Salah is evaluating priorities beyond the financial aspect.

Liverpool facing a complex decision: continuity or sale

Liverpool is at a delicate moment. After a decline in performance, accumulating losses, and an internal crisis with a revered figure questioning his place, the club must decide whether to opt for a generational change or try to salvage the relationship with its star forward. Mohamed Salah is under contract until 2027, complicating an immediate sale.

A departure in January would open the door to new offensive negotiations, aiming to rejuvenate the squad. However, it would also mean bidding farewell to one of its historical figures, with enormous symbolic weight in its recent history. Letting Salah go could be as traumatic as necessary.

This moment could mark a decisive turning point. If Mohamed Salah chooses to leave, both San Diego FC and Al Hilal emerge as likely destinations. Conversely, if Liverpool manages to rectify the situation, the forward could stay, at least for a while. The outcome will set a before and after in his career—and for the clubs dreaming of welcoming him.
