Then it was done. Mo Salah on Tuesday went out and told Liverpool supporters that he will leave Anfield after the end of the season. Last season, Liverpool’s biggest star rounded off as top scorer and Premier League champion, the current one has been characterized by bench life, verbal clinch with Arne Slot, return to the match arena, but 5 goals and 6 assists in 22 Premier League games is not what Liverpool pay £400,000 a week for. With Salah now confirmed on his way away from Anfield, where does the journey go next? A Spanish newspaper highlights an interesting scenario for all Alexander Sørloth fans.
The Independent believes Salah’s most likely choice is to gravitate to Saudi Arabian football to cash in on the really big money (“to show up”). MLS and San Diego FC are also an option, while from the Italian side, there are reports of great interest from Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milans to bring the superstar back to Serie A, without the clubs being able to cover a Salah salary.

For us, it will be extra interesting when Atletico Madrid are brought in. According to Spanish AS, the Madrid club is relevant if Salah chooses La Liga. Here it was confirmed on Tuesday that one of the club’s highest-paid players, Antoine Griezmann, is leaving the club one year early, where a contract with Orlando City has been signed (starting July).
Alexander Sørloth thus loses his superpartner, but with assist king Salah (122 assists in 435 Liverpool games) on the right wing at Atletico, this could be a new super duo.
It’s allowed to dream.
