PSG, Bayern Join Fenerbahce in Race for Liverpool Star Mohamed Salah

After a glittering nine-year spell at Liverpool FC, Mohamed Salah appears to be approaching the end of his time at Anfield. The forward has recently hinted that his chapter with the Premier League side could soon close, fuelling intense transfer speculation ahead of the summer window.

Fenerbahce leading the race?

Turkish giants Fenerbahce SK have emerged as serious contenders for Salah’s signature. According to reports, club representatives have already held two meetings with the player’s camp.

The Istanbul-based side is understood to be preparing for the financial demands of the deal, with Salah reportedly seeking a weekly salary of £333,000 — a figure that would place him among the highest-paid players in world football.

A move to Fenerbahce could also see Salah reunite with high-profile names like Ederson and N'Golo Kante, adding further appeal to the project.

What happened to the Saudi Pro League interest?

For months, clubs backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund have been strongly linked with Salah. He has been viewed as a potential marquee figure who could succeed Cristiano Ronaldo as the face of the Saudi Pro League.

However, the latest developments suggest that Salah may prefer to remain in Europe, where the competitive level and global visibility remain significantly higher.

Which other European clubs are in contention?

Interest in Salah is not limited to Turkey. Several elite European clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation closely. These include Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, both of whom could offer Champions League football and a continued presence at the top level.

Egyptian team director Ibrahim Hassan confirmed the breadth of interest, saying, "I have heard of offers from Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and clubs from Italy."

Is a move to MLS a realistic option?

Clubs in the United States have also been linked, including New York City FC. However, such a move appears less likely at this stage, especially given concerns about visibility and competitive intensity.

Hassan expressed strong reservations, stating, "A move to MLS? He would be far too out of the spotlight. You would not remember him any more than I remember Lionel Messi now. I do not even watch him."

What will ultimately decide Salah’s future?

At this stage, no official statement has been issued by Salah or his representatives. The decision is likely to hinge on a combination of sporting ambition, financial terms and legacy considerations.

Whether he chooses to remain in Europe with clubs like Fenerbahce, PSG or Bayern, or opts for a lucrative move elsewhere, Salah’s next step will be one of the biggest transfer stories in world football.
