Salah bids farewell to Liverpool with romantic Serie A return mooted for Roma
Mohamed Salah has parted ways with Liverpool after years together, with his final appearance at Anfield coming against Brentford. Liverpool released an emotional tribute video showing Salah greeted on the pitch by his daughters, accompanied by the song 'Hoppípolla' by Sigur Ros, followed by highlights of his key moments and goals in a red shirt. The tribute drew widespread affection from Egyptian, Italian, and English fans. With Salah's future now open, several paths lie ahead. The MLS and Saudi Arabia remain concrete options, following the template of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's late-career moves. However, a more romantic prospect has emerged: a return to Serie A. According to Football Insider, Roma and AC Milan have reportedly made initial moves. The idea had circulated months earlier when Salah's Liverpool departure was announced but had remained dormant, largely due to wage demands believed to be around €12 million annually and age considerations. A Champions League place would be necessary to make such a move viable. Salah's focus now turns to the World Cup with Egypt before determining his next chapter. The notion of him returning to where his career became truly great carries particular resonance given that he never won the Champions League during his time in Rome—a prize he might still pursue as a giallorossi player.
