Mohamed Salah is reportedly unlikely to move to Major League Soccer at the end of the 2025-26 season, despite repeated links to various clubs. Chicago Fire and San Diego FC had been suggested as destinations for the Egyptian, but according to the Athletic, both seem unlikely at this point. Salah announced on Tuesday that he will depart Liverpool at the end of the season.

Chicago Fire FC is preparing a significant financial offer to acquire Mohamed Salah. Salah announced that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. His agent, Ramy Abbas, denied rumors about Salah's next destination and stated that no decision has been made.

According to 90min, Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025–26 season, with Chicago Fire FC being a possible destination. The report also states that Chicago Fire has been seeking a superstar and unsuccessfully attempted to sign Neymar Jr. and Kevin De Bruyne in 2025. For a deal for Salah to be completed, the club would need to switch roster construction models and likely buy down one of its U22 Initiative players. Chicago Fire is also scheduled to move into a new stadium in 2028, and Salah could become the main player representing the club's next phase of development.

Major League Soccer is reportedly considered a more appealing destination for Mohamed Salah than a transfer to Saudi Arabia. Speaking on The Athletic's Walk On podcast, Liverpool beat reporter James Pearce said the MLS is another possible destination for Salah and that it has been suggested to him that it is more appealing in many ways than the Saudi Pro League. The clubs most linked with Salah have been Chicago Fire, who are also keen on Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski.
