Rumors suggest Mohamed Salah could move to Atlético Madrid
After nine productive years at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah is nearing an exit. As speculation grows regarding the Egyptian star's next destination, Atlético Madrid has emerged as a potential option.
According to WinWin, Saudi Arabian clubs were previously seen as the main contenders for the 33-year-old forward. However, a new path that could keep Salah in Europe — Atlético Madrid — has now surfaced.
Mohamed Salah has made 441 appearances for Liverpool, recording 257 goals and 122 assists. These figures highlight his status as one of the most important players in the history of the Merseyside club.
According to a source close to the Madrid club, it is natural for Atlético to be interested in a player of Salah's caliber. However, executing such a transfer will not be easy.
"Salah is a top-tier player, and naturally, any European club would want to sign him. But no official steps have been taken yet. The main issue is his high salary, which does not fit the current financial structure of the Madrid side," the source said.
Currently, Salah earns over £20 million per year. These financial demands could be the primary obstacle to his move to Atlético. The Madrid side may want to acquire an experienced, fast, and decisive player, but economically, this transfer requires serious calculation.
In short, Mohamed Salah's future remains open. The Saudi option exists, and the possibility of staying in Europe is not ruled out. Atlético is a very interesting direction: if Salah's speed and experience are added to Simeone's football, it would be a major plot in Madrid. But for now, the main question is one: how will the salary issue be resolved?
