Report: Salah Could Make Roma Return as Free Agent in 2026
Reports are circulating that Mohamed Salah might consider a return to AS Roma in 2026, when his current contract with Liverpool is set to expire, making him a free agent.
The Egyptian international, who will turn 34 in June, has been a pivotal player for Liverpool since his €42 million transfer from Roma in the summer of 2017. Before his successful stint at Anfield, Salah first rose to prominence with the Giallorossi after earlier experiences at Chelsea and Fiorentina.
A Potential Homecoming for Salah After Nine Years
Despite suggestions of potential disagreements with manager Arne Slot, Salah has maintained a strong performance this season for Liverpool, contributing 10 goals and nine assists across 34 competitive appearances.
While a move to MLS, specifically San Diego, or the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ittihad and Al-Qadsiah reportedly interested, has been widely speculated, another intriguing possibility has emerged. According to reports from Retesport and La Gazzetta dello Sport, a return to Roma, where his career truly took off, is being considered.
Such a move would likely involve a short-term deal and necessitate a significant reduction from his current net annual salary of €12 million. Even if Roma were to secure Champions League qualification, their salary cap would probably be closer to €4 million per season, meaning Salah would need to accept a considerable pay cut for a potential reunion with the club.
