Donovan shared insights on Salah’s future prior to the official announcement of his departure from Liverpool.
“It will be interesting. This might be his last World Cup, right? They’ve got an interesting group,” Donovan noted.
He added: “It seems manageable on the surface. Salah has had a strange season, but I feel he might want to finish his career outside England, possibly in the US.”
These comments were made before Salah’s announcement, but now they match the reality of his exit from Liverpool.
This situation also emphasizes how MLS is becoming a realistic destination for top players nearing the end of their careers.

These views show that Salah’s appeal goes beyond just football, making him an important figure for league growth.
