SportFootballMohamed SalahMohamed Salah is available on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool and will likely have his pick from a host of clubs following the conclusion of Egyp's World Cup campaignAS Roma and Juventus are said to have explored the possibility of doing a deal for Mohamed Salah as the attacker weighs up his options after leaving Liverpool.Salah is currently at the World Cup with Egypt but continues to be linked with clubs, particularly in Saudi Arabia where there has been longstanding interest in the 34-year-old from some of the Pro League's biggest teams. Al-Ittihad previously had a £150million bid to sign Salah back in the summer of 2023 rejected by Liverpool and remain keen on the veteran.However, a long mooted move to the Middle East is not a lock given there is at least some possibility that Salah could remain in Europe.The Mail report that Roma, the club Salah joined Liverpool from, are among those who have looked into the prospect of a deal for their old attacker.Juventus have also done the same and their head coach, Luciano Spalletti, is held in high esteem by Salah.
Finances, though, are likely to be a significant obstacle to either team in their pursuit of a player who would command a significant wage.That could be an issue for some of Salah's other suitors, even those in the Saudi Pro League including Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal.The United States has been touted as another potential destination for Salah, while the report adds that clubs in Turkey also have interest in the four-time Premier League Golden Boot winner.It's likely that Salah's next move will become clearer following the World Cup, with Egypt set to play Argentina in the Round of 16 on Tuesday evening.Salah has scored one goal and provided two assists from four matches to aid Egypt's run to the knockout phase, though they will need to topple the heavily fancied reigning champions if they are to advance to the tournament quarter-finals.He alluded to the fact he would delay a decision on his next move until after the World Cup, saying back in May: “I am still assessing things. I am going to the World Cup and then everything will become clear.“If there is a good opportunity before then, I will decide, and if there isn’t, I will make my decision after the World Cup.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
