Neville & Carragher drop interesting Salah transfer theories that might surprise Liverpool fans | OneFootball

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have both made interesting claims about the Mohamed Salah transfer situation after his announcement that he’s leaving Liverpool.

Salah will be on his way out of Anfield this summer, perhaps a bit earlier than some would have expected after he signed a two-year contract at the end of last season.

Still, there’s also no doubt the Egypt international has suffered a big drop-off in form this season, so it might well be the right time for the Reds to let him go.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Overlap, Neville suggested that he was pretty sure that Salah already had a move lined up and that’s why his departure has been announced early.

Meanwhile, Carragher said he wouldn’t be surprised if the 33-year-old was eyeing a move to another European club rather than making that step down to the Saudi Pro League or MLS.

Where next for Mohamed Salah?

Our understanding is that Salah has interest from Saudi clubs but also from San Diego FC, though no decision on his next destination has been made yet.

We’re not aware of anything being agreed yet, but Neville has suggested it’s possible that Salah already knows where he’s going next.

Despite Salah’s dip in form as he starts to show signs of age, Carragher also made it clear he felt the player might still feel he has what it takes to keep going in Europe.

The slower pace of the game in Italian football might suit Salah well, and he’s played there before with spells with both Roma and Fiorentina.

It will be interesting to see what Salah decides, and if major European clubs are ready to gamble by signing him at this late stage of his career, but his status as a free agent certainly lowers the risk.
