Mohamed Salah’s future may be in Europe as Juventus reportedly chase the Egyptian star as a free-agent reinforcement
After leaving Liverpool as free agent, Mohamed Salah has received interest from several teams such as Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and the Saudi Pro League. Nevertheless, Juventus are reportedly interested in signing him, with Luciano Spalletti being a key factor.

While Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and the Saudi Pro League have approached him, he has not accepted any offer yet. Following this, Juventus have reportedly decided to pursue his signing as a marquee reinforcement. According to La Repubblica, head coach Luciano Spalletti is pressuring Juventus to complete the signing of Mohamed Salah. After helping him shine at AS Roma, the Egyptian star could once again have more prominence in Serie A, while also competing in the UEFA Europa League.

Despite not having his best season, Mohamed Salah has managed to post solid numbers, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 41 matches with Liverpool. With this, he surpasses the performances of Kenan Yıldız, showing that he could deliver a differential impact at Juventus. In addition, the Egyptian star could be key to developing the potential of Francisco Conceição, who has yet to fully take a step forward. Juventus do not have an easy task in securing the signing of Mohamed Salah. While they have a highly competitive sporting project, they might not be able to offer an astronomical salary.

According to Nicolò Schira, the 32-year-old left-back has reached an agreement to join Tottenham Hotspur on a contract until 2028. While Juventus showed interest in his services, their salary offer was reportedly not as strong, causing them to miss out on his signing.
