Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool, making his future a hot topic as the summer transfer window approaches.
Inter Miami is being considered as a possible destination, sparking discussions on how his arrival would impact their finances.
The MLS team already has a hefty wage structure, led by Lionel Messi.
Bringing in another global star would need careful management within league regulations.

At Liverpool, Salah’s annual salary is around £20 million, or about $26 million, according to talkSPORT.
While substantial, this amount is still significantly less than Messi’s deal at Inter Miami.
Club co-owner Jorge Mas confirmed to Bloomberg that Messi’s contract costs between $70 million and $80 million each year.
This gap highlights the investment needed to bring top talent to MLS.
Additionally, Inter Miami already has three designated players who exceed the salary cap: Messi, Rodrigo De Paul, and German Berterame.
Therefore, adding Salah would likely require adjustments to the roster. However, his profile could bring star appeal at a lower cost compared to the 38-year-old Messi.
Salah as a Key Figure for Inter Miami’s Future
Salah’s potential move is not only about the immediate impact. Messi’s contract lasts until 2028, but there are doubts about his remaining time.
This uncertainty raises questions about Inter Miami’s long-term star power.
Salah, five years younger than Messi, could become a key figure in the team’s future. His proven performance makes him an appealing option, even amid concerns about his current form.
Nevertheless, Inter Miami is facing competition, with clubs in Saudi Arabia also interested in signing Salah.
