Egypt director sends clear Salah message Speaking via BBC Sport , Ibrahim Hassan made it clear that he believes the Liverpool forward still belongs at the highest level of European football rather than moving elsewhere. He said: “I would prefer him to stay in Europe… I have heard about offers from Paris St-Germain, Bayern Munich and clubs in the Italian league.

” That alone underlines the level Salah is still operating at, with elite clubs across the continent reportedly interested in securing the Egyptian’s signature if he were to leave us.
