San Diego FC owner Mohamed Mansour has revealed his interest in signing Mohamed Salah this summer.
Salah is set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of the season after nine seasons at Anfield. The Egyptian is exploring his options with clubs in Saudi Arabia and Major League soccer heavily linked.
British-Egyptian billionaire Mansour, owner of MLS’s newest franchise, has said San Diego would be open to a deal if head coach Mikey Varas believes Salah fits their tactical plan.
Speaking to talkSPORT Mansour said: “I would think any team around the world would be interested.
“He’s a great player, he’s a great professional, he’s maintained his athleticism and his professionalism.
“But the way we manage San Diego Football Club, like any business I manage, I have people that are responsible.
“In the management, we have Tyler Heaps, who’s a great sporting director, we have Mikey Varas, who’s a great coach – they’re the ones that will decide these things.
“Of course, we have to see how the fit is with the style of play we have.
“He’s done amazing things for Liverpool. If you go anywhere in the Middle East, not even Egypt, you’ll see Liverpool shirts with Mo Salah on the back. He’s world class.
“As an Egyptian, my origin is Egyptian, I’m a British citizen now, I’m proud to be British also, it means a lot to me to see somebody that has maintained that level of professionalism.”
