Mohamed Salah Told to Move to MLS & 'Be a Megastar like Lionel Messi'

Liverpool Legend Vladimir Smicer Advises Salah on Future

Liverpool icon Vladimir Smicer has urged Mohamed Salah to snub the riches of Saudi Arabia in favour of a move to MLS, suggesting the Egyptian could reach the same heights of global superstardom as Lionel Messi in the United States.

Smicer Identifies Tactical Reason Behind Salah's Dip in Form

The former Reds midfielder also believes he has identified the tactical reason behind Salah's uncharacteristic dip in form under Arne Slot this season.

  • Mohamed Salah is preparing for his Liverpool departure
  • Vladimir Smicer suggests MLS as a potential destination
  • Lionel Messi is cited as an example of success in the US
"Mohamed Salah to MLS or Saudi? It depends on which culture he wants to go to, but they will love him everywhere. I think in the US, for me, football is growing there. The stadiums are starting to fill. It's a good atmosphere. If I was in his position, I'd go to the US. But we'll see what he's going to decide. Maybe he can surprise us and he can stay in Europe. You never know. But in the US, he would be a megastar like Lionel Messi."

Salah's Future Plans Remain Uncertain

As Salah prepares for his Liverpool departure, Smicer believes the United States offers the perfect stage for the next chapter.
