Inter Miami are preparing a move for Mohamed Salah as the forward nears the end of his time at Liverpool, according to media reports.

 

Salah, 33, will leave Liverpool as a free agent after both sides agreed to part ways at the end of the season, bringing an end to his nine-year spell at Anfield. The Egyptian forward remains one of the highest-paid players at the club, but his recent performances and Liverpool’s overall dip in form played a role in the decision.

 

Reports suggest Inter Miami want to bring Salah to Major League Soccer and pair him with Lionel Messi in a high-profile move. The deal would require changes to their current squad structure, as MLS rules allow only three Designated Players whose salaries fall outside the league’s cap.

 

At present, Inter Miami’s Designated Player slots are occupied by Messi, Rodrigo De Paul and Germán Berterame, meaning the club would need to reshuffle its roster to accommodate Salah.

 

Clubs from the Saudi Pro League have also shown strong interest in Salah for several years. Al Ittihad previously made a £150 million bid in 2023, which Liverpool rejected, while Al Hilal has emerged as another potential destination.

 

Liverpool confirmed Salah’s departure in an official statement.

 

“Mohamed Salah is to bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season. The forward has reached an agreement with the Reds that will see him close a remarkable nine-year chapter at Anfield.”

 

“Salah expressed his wish to make this announcement to the supporters at the earliest possible opportunity to provide transparency about his future due to his respect and gratitude for them.”

 

Salah’s exit comes during a difficult period for Liverpool, with recent results increasing pressure on head coach Arne Slot.

 

Media reports also indicate that Saudi clubs continue to target key figures behind the scenes at Liverpool, including senior management, as they look to strengthen their football operations.
