Ammon News - Egypt's national team director Ibrahim Hassan has cautioned Mohamed Salah against moving to Major League Soccer after he leaves Liverpool at ​the end of the season as it would see the forward ‌fade into obscurity.

Salah, 33, has yet to decide his next move after he ends a hugely successful nine‑year spell at Liverpool, where he won two Premier League titles and the ​Champions League.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber has said he would love to ​see Salah in the league, though it is unclear whether any ⁠MLS teams will attempt to sign him.

"Personally, I would prefer him to ​stay in Europe," Hassan told On Sports. "I have heard about offers from Paris ​Saint‑Germain, Bayern Munich and clubs in the Italian league.

"A move to the Major League? He would be far too out of the spotlight. You won’t remember Salah any more ​than I remember (Lionel) Messi now, I don’t even try to watch him."

After ​trophy‑laden stints with Barcelona and Paris Saint‑Germain, Argentina captain Messi joined Inter Miami in 2023, ‌months ⁠after lifting the World Cup, and became the club’s all‑time top scorer.

Hassan said the Saudi Pro League would be a suitable option if Salah chose not to stay in Europe.

"If he does not receive offers from Europe, then ​a move to the ​Saudi league would ⁠be a good option, especially with big names such as Cristiano (Ronaldo)", Hassan, twin brother of Egypt coach Hossam Hassan, ​added.

Salah is currently sidelined by injury and will miss ​Egypt’s ongoing ⁠training camp as they prepare for the World Cup in North America.

Egypt face Spain in a friendly in Barcelona on Tuesday after a 4‑0 win over Saudi Arabia ⁠in ​Jeddah on Friday.

The seven-times African champions are in ​Group G with Belgium, New Zealand and Iran at the World Cup, which runs from June ​11 to July 19.
