Mohamed Salah to Roma: Why a Return Remains Highly Improbable
Despite persistent reports in the British press linking Mohamed Salah with a potential return to AS Roma, a transfer for the Egyptian superstar is considered highly unlikely due to substantial financial and strategic obstacles.
According to insights from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Friedkin ownership has fundamentally shifted the club's recruitment philosophy. Roma is now prioritizing the acquisition of younger, high-potential talents over established veterans who command large contracts.
The club has implemented a strict internal salary cap, limiting player wages to a maximum of €4 million per season. This figure is starkly incompatible with Salah's current economic demands, as the forward reportedly earns approximately €20 million gross per season. Under the current financial regime, such a move to the Italian capital is financially impossible.
While the "crazy idea" of a return to the Giallorossi continues to circulate in the media, Salah is actively attracting concrete interest from other major clubs.
Saudi Arabian powerhouses Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiyah have already initiated approaches for the Liverpool talisman. Furthermore, the new MLS expansion franchise, San Diego FC, has also expressed significant interest in bringing him to the United States.
Given the immense disparity in wage expectations and Roma's steadfast commitment to long-term financial sustainability and a youth-focused strategy, Mohamed Salah's future appears destined to be away from the Stadio Olimpico.
