Mohamed Salah Transfer from Liverpool to San Diego
If Mohamed Salah moves to Major League Soccer this summer, his most probable destination is San Diego FC, despite previous suggestions that the club is not interested in a deal. It has been reported that Salah and Liverpool have reached an agreement for him to leave this summer, even though Salah has a year left on his contract. According to The Athletic, MLS would like to begin a period it hopes will be transformative after the World Cup with the signing of Salah. The same outlet reports that San Diego is Salah's most probable destination if he is to move to MLS. It is alleged that the league office informed clubs that none of them can claim the Discovery Rights for the Egyptian player; these rights provide a team with the right of first refusal. This action was apparently taken to enable San Diego to have discussions with Salah without the prerequisite of trading for his rights. The 2025 expansion team will not attempt to match Saudi proposals, but could offer an ownership percentage similar to the one in Lionel Messi's agreement with Inter Miami. However, they would be required to bear the entire cost of Salah themselves. Commissioner Don Garber has stated that the league will not provide assistance for the signing of the 33-year-old, unlike it did for Messi. It is reported that Messi receives portions of MLS's deals with Adidas and Apple TV. The report notes that San Diego would need to make some roster adjustments to sign Salah. The club intends to transfer Lozano before signing Salah this summer, with the exception being if an offer for Dreyer is received that is too advantageous to refuse. They will be unable to sign the Egyptian player if they do not accomplish this. A possible alternative could be an agreement similar to the one from last year involving Thomas Muller and the Vancouver Whitecaps. In that arrangement, the German player consented to play for a reduced salary for six months, which enabled him to join the club without occupying a DP spot.
