Mohamed Salah will say goodbye to Liverpool after the season, but it is still unclear where he will start the next chapter of his career. The Egyptian has offers from Saudi Arabia, but his priority remains playing in Europe. According to Egyptian media, Fenerbahce joined the fight for the winger and prepared a contract for him that could go down in the history of Turkish football.

Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool

It has been known since March that Salah will end his adventure with Liverpool after the current season. The footballer published farewell material in which he said that he would leave the club in the summer. For Reds fans, this is the end of a unique era, because the Egyptian has been with the team since July 2017 and for years was one of the biggest stars of the Premier League. His numbers, impact on the game and marketing importance mean that even at the age of 33 he remains one of the loudest names on the market.

During the current season, Salah played 39 matches for Liverpool, scored 12 goals and provided nine assists. These are no longer statistics from his best campaigns, but they still show that we are talking about a player capable of making a difference at a high level. Therefore, the interest in him is not surprising, especially since after leaving Anfield it will be possible to convince him primarily with the sports project and the terms of the contract.

Fenerbahce has prepared a big offer

According to the daily “El Fagr”, Salah received an offer from Fenerbahce. The Turkish club was to present him with a three-year contract with a salary of EUR 20 million per year. Such a contract would be one of the largest in the history of the Turkish league and would clearly show that Istanbul sees the Egyptian as the leader of the entire project, and not just a high-profile name brought in for marketing purposes.

Salah reportedly responded positively to the presented conditions, but has not yet made a decision. He wants to wait for proposals from other clubs and compare available opportunities. Teams from Saudi Arabia are putting a lot of pressure on him, as they can offer even more money, but the player’s priority is to stay in Europe. It is this element that may give Fenerbahce hope that the transfer is not just a media sensation.

Europe more important than record money?

For Salah, the next choice will be one of the most important in the final phase of his career. A move to Saudi Arabia would mean a huge contract and probably less sporting pressure, but a move to Fenerbahce would allow him to still compete in a European environment, with fanatical fans and with a club fighting for the highest goals in Turkey. The Egyptian could play the role of an absolute star and the face of the team there.

Fenerbahce, however, must take into account huge competition. As a free agent, Salah will be one of the most attractive players on the market, and his decision may depend not only on money, but also on the club’s ambitions, the possibility of playing in European cups and the role he will receive in the new team. For now, one thing is certain: after leaving Liverpool, there will be no shortage of interest in him.
