Rumours swirling around Anfield have taken a dramatic twist, with whispers suggesting that Mohamed Salah could be preparing for a shock move to MLS side San Diego FC in 2026.
The Egyptian superstar, who has shown signs of slowing down this season, has long been on the radar of Saudi clubs — but a new destination is suddenly entering the conversation.
According to top American football insider Tom Boggart, San Diego FC might be the club preparing the strongest push. Speaking during a recent YouTube discussion, he hinted that the California outfit could be the most realistic landing spot for Liverpool’s No. 11.
Boggart noted that San Diego’s Egyptian ownership gives them a natural advantage, adding:
> “If Salah ever decides to play in MLS, I’d feel extremely confident saying San Diego would be the favourites. I don’t see Chicago, Miami, or LAFC jumping ahead.”
He further explained that although clubs in the Middle East would likely offer bigger wages, San Diego’s project, ambition, and ownership connection could make them serious contenders.
Imagine it: Mo Salah lighting up MLS in San Diego colours — a headline no Liverpool fan saw coming, but one that would be spectacular to witness.
Contract Situation
Salah remains tied to Liverpool until June 2027, meaning any 2026 transfer would require a significant fee. So far this season, he has registered four goals and two assists in the Premier League but was recently left out of the clash against West Ham — adding even more fuel to the speculation.
Is the MLS preparing for its next global superstar? Or will Liverpool find a way to keep their Egyptian King beyond 2026?
Stay tuned — this story is only just beginning.
