Despite reports from the British press linking Mohamed Salah with a return to Roma, a deal for the Egyptian superstar remains highly improbable due to significant financial and strategic hurdles.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Friedkin ownership has shifted the clubโs recruitment philosophy toward signing younger profiles rather than established veterans on massive contracts. Roma has implemented a strict internal salary cap of โฌ4m per season, a figure that is incompatible with Salahโs current economic demands. The forward currently earns approximately โฌ20m gross per season, making a move to the capital financially impossible under the current regime.
While the โcrazy ideaโ of a return to the Giallorossi persists in the media, Salah is attracting concrete interest from elsewhere.
Saudi Arabian sides Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiyah have already made approaches for the Liverpool talisman, while MLS expansion side San Diego FC is also very interested in bringing him to the United States. Given the immense gap in wages and Romaโs focus on long-term sustainability, Salahโs future appears destined to be away from the Stadio Olimpico.
