Overview
- David Moyes told Egyptian TV on Monday that a signing of Mohamed Salah by Everton is “not possible” because the local rivalry and Salah’s status at Liverpool would make the move untenable.
- Salah is a free agent after leaving Liverpool this summer and has not agreed a new club as he focuses on Egypt’s World Cup campaign.
- Reports have linked Salah to teams in Turkey, the Saudi Pro League and MLS, but no offer or agreement has been publicly confirmed and his agent has asked for talks to remain private.
- Practical barriers make an Everton deal unlikely since published figures suggest Salah’s expected wages would far exceed Everton’s current top earners, creating a clear financial mismatch.
- Salah leaves Liverpool with 257 goals and a haul of major trophies, and any future move would carry strong sporting and emotional weight for Merseyside fans and the wider transfer market.
