Despite his age, he remains in excellent physical condition and has consistently delivered at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6665\" src=\"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/606105f15bd0fcefa8358e05c0d4586d.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"198\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, Atl\u00e9tico could face a significant obstacle over his salary. Salah reportedly earned close to \u00a3400,000 per week at Liverpool, a figure that may prove difficult for the La Liga side to match.<\/p>\n<p>The Egyptian is also attracting interest from clubs in Turkey, while teams from Saudi Arabia continue to monitor his situation closely.

His elite attacking quality, leadership, and wealth of big-game experience would provide a major boost to Diego Simeone&#8217;s squad. Having scored 257 goals in more than 400 appearances for Liverpool, Salah has the technical ability, athleticism, and winning mentality to thrive in La Liga and could prove an ideal replacement for Antoine Griezmann.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Atl\u00e9tico Madrid are reportedly exploring a move for Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah, with the Spanish giants ready to offer the Egyptian forward a two-year contract, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/?p=6702\" title=\"Atl\u00e9tico Madrid have made an approach to sign Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah on a free transfer.\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COS-FeaturedHero-Image-Templates-56-1200x722-1.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6702"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6703,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6702\/revisions\/6703"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gistbuzz.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
