Egypt’s national team director Ibrahim Hassan has advised Mohamed Salah against a move to Major League Soccer after he leaves Liverpool at the end of the season, warning that it could cause the forward to fade from the global spotlight.

Salah, 33, is yet to decide his next destination following a highly successful nine-year spell at Liverpool, where he won two Premier League titles and the Champions League.

MLS commissioner Don Garber has previously expressed interest in seeing Salah join the league, although it remains uncertain whether any clubs will make a formal approach to sign him.

Speaking to On Sports, Hassan said he would prefer Salah to continue his career in Europe, citing reported interest from major clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and teams in Italy.

He also suggested that a switch to MLS would significantly reduce Salah’s visibility on the world stage. Comparing it to Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami in 2023 after his achievements in Europe and with Argentina, Hassan implied that players outside Europe receive less attention.

If Salah does not remain in Europe, Hassan added that the Saudi Pro League would be a more suitable alternative, highlighting the presence of global stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Salah’s future remains undecided as speculation continues over his next move.

Mohamed Salah is currently sidelined due to injury and will miss Egypt’s ongoing training camp as the team prepares for the World Cup in North America.

Egypt are set to face Spain in a friendly match in Barcelona on Tuesday, following their convincing 4–0 victory over Saudi Arabia in Jeddah on Friday.

The seven-time African champions have been drawn in Group G at the World Cup, alongside Belgium, New Zealand, and Iran. The tournament is scheduled to run from June 11 to July 19.
