Mohamed Salah has been linked to a move to MLS club Sporting Kansas City, and the latest betting odds suggest it he could realistically snub Saudi Arabia and EuropeMohamed Salah is expected to announce his next club in the coming weeks(Image: Photo by Chris Brunskill/Fantasista/Getty Images)Mohamed Salah’s next club odds shifted dramatically after a new report linked him to a move to the United States.Salah is expected to announce his next club in the near future after bowing out of the World Cup with Egypt, and a move to MLS is looking increasingly likely, according to the latest betting odds.The 34-year-old had long been linked to a move to the Saudi Pro League after announcing his departure from Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, but a fresh report suggests he could favor joining MLS club Sporting Kansas City.Updated betting odds now pit Salah as more likely to go to MLS than the Saudi Pro League or other destinations around Europe, which still remain a possibility, particularly in Italy.‘Any MLS team’ is the new favorite at +250 to be Salah’s next club, jumping Saudi Arabian sides Al Ahli (+300), Al Ittihad (+500), and Al Hilal (+600) in the betting odds.While the betting market does not list specific MLS clubs, Sporting KC is believed to be the most realistic after being named as a “top suitor” for Salah by The Athletic’s Tom Bogert, who continued that such a transfer remains “a long shot” as the Egyptian still prefers going to Saudi Arabia or staying in Europe.Sporting KC majority owner Peter Mallouk, who is the son of Egyptian immigrants, even replied to the report linking Salah to his club on X, writing: "Promises made will be promises kept."Lots of conversations happening. One way or another, this team will be significantly better in the second half, much better by the sprint season."Salah departed Liverpool after nine seasons(Image: Photo by Naomi Baker/Getty Images)While Salah may prefer going to Saudi Arabia, where he would likely earn a much larger salary than in MLS, or stay in Europe, where he can still compete in the Champions League, he could ultimately fancy a move stateside like so many other legends of the sport have in the past decade-plus.Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Marco Reus, and Hugo Lloris are some of the high-profile names to choose MLS in recent years, while Robert Lewandowski and Antoine Griezmann will join for the back half of the 2026 season after moving on from European clubs.Other legends like Thierry Henry, Andrea Pirlo, David Villa, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and David Beckham have all flocked to MLS in the twilight of their careers as well.Salah, who scored once in the 2026 World Cup and captained Egypt to the Round of 16, may still believe he can contribute to a more globally-renowned team before settling for a move to MLS.This information is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for financial reasons or to determine a specific course of action.
