Mohamed Salah is set to announce his next club “very soon”, the forward’s lawyer and advisor has said in an update explaining how the 34-year-old has avoided holding talks “just for the sake of noise”.
Egypt captain Salah left Liverpool after nine years at the end of last season and helped his country make history with their first-ever win at a World Cup before being dramatically ousted by holders Argentina in a last-16 classic at the 2026 edition.
“We still do not know where Mohamed will play next season,” teased Ramy Abbas Issa, Salah’s representative. “But we may know very soon.”
Mohamed Salah transfer: Who will he join?
Some bookmakers are offering Besiktas as favourites to sign Salah, followed by any other Turkish club.
Odds compilers believe Saudi clubs are in the running but less likely, with European clubs considered dark horses to lure the former Chelsea, Roma, Basel and Al-Mokawloon player.
“It is not our style to have discussions with clubs that Mohamed wouldn’t want to play for just for the sake of noise,” added Abbas Issa.
Mohamed Salah: Liverpool stats
Salah top-scored in the Premier League as the Reds won the title in 2024/25 in their first season under Arne Slot.
That was the fourth time Salah had been the leading marksman in the English top flight, although he struggled last season and made his dissatisfaction with the doomed Slot clear during Liverpool’s troubled title defence.
A forgettable end to his career at Anfield has done little to diminish Salah’s status as one of the greatest players of all time.
As well as the 2018/19 Champions League, Salah won every major domestic trophy at least once with Liverpool and is their all-time leading contributor of goals and assists in the Premier League.
Only Ian Rush and Roger Hunt have outscored Salah for the club. Here are his key Liverpool stats.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 442 | 257 | 120 |
Mohamed Salah salary
Two-time African Footballer of the Year Salah signed a deal in July 2022 making him the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history.
Abbas Issa told a Harvard Business School study in 2023 that Salah earned at least £1 million a week in total income, boosted by factors such as his lucrative endorsements.
Following months of speculation, Salah signed a new deal until 2027 with Liverpool in April 2025.
