However, the Egyptian striker has reportedly told friends that he would be open to a return to Chelsea. Moreover, the London club is the only English side Salah would consider joining.
This does not mean that a sensational comeback is in the works just yet. At this stage, it’s only about Salah’s own position—Chelsea have yet to make any concrete moves to sign him.
Salah is now a free agent after wrapping up a remarkable nine-year spell at Liverpool. The Merseyside club officially announced back in March that the Egyptian would leave at the end of the 2025/26 season.
It’s worth noting that out of the 300 Premier League matches Salah started, only six were for Chelsea, with the remaining 294 coming in a Liverpool shirt.
