That deal – worth £400k per week – is now set to be ripped up. Having reached an agreement with club bosses to end his spell on Merseyside a year early Salah is to become one of the hottest free agent prospects in the game.
It’s been speculated that Salah’s future will belong to either MLS or the Saudi Pro League. The two-time African footballer of the year is wanted by San Diego FC and in Saudi Arabia there is interest from Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiah.

“According to A Spor reporter Erdem Akbaş, Ertan Torunoğulları, representing Fenerbahçe, held two meetings with Mohamed Salah’s agent,” the report reads.
