The possibility of two legendary strikers who commanded the English Premier League (EPL) playing for one team has been raised. LAFC, Son Heung-min (34), was mentioned as the next destination for Mohamed Salah (34), who was confirmed to be separated from Liverpool.

ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, analyzed Salah's destination to end his nine-year Anfield life after this season on the 27th (Korea Standard Time), and selected LAFC as one of the leading candidates.

According to the media, Major League Soccer (MLS) Commissioner Don Garber said at a recent event, "I want to see Salah play in our league. He publicly expressed his intention to recruit MLS, saying, "He is a player who will be a huge asset for MLS."

Even LAFC's movement seems to be taking shape. "ESPN" said, "LAFC is currently refraining from making official comments," but analyzed, "If Salah comes to the free agent market this summer, there is a possibility that he will recruit even by changing the existing designated player management policy."

According to major foreign media such as the British 'BBC', Salah has agreed with the club to end his career in Liverpool at the end of this season. Salah, who has scored 255 goals in 435 official games since joining in 2017, is a legend who has lifted a total of eight major trophies, including two EPL wins and a Champions League (UCL). Salah's 189 goals and 92 assists during his stay in Liverpool are the unrivaled No. 1 records in the EPL during the same period.

However, the decline this season has been hampered. Salah, who had 29 goals and 18 assists last season, had only five goals and six assists in 22 league games this season.

In addition, even the club legend has come to criticize Salah. According to the Daily Mail, Graham Souness pointed out that "Sala is falling like falling off a cliff." According to the "Mirror," Salah's position has narrowed due to rumors of discord with Arne Slot. In the end, Liverpool decided to release Salah on a free contract at the expense of not being able to pay a penny in transfer fees.Salah also made the final arrangement, accelerating the timing of the transfer announcement with respect to the fans

However, the love call for Salah seems to continue. "The RT Hard of the Saudi Arabian Professional League (SPL) still has Salah as its top target," ESPN said. "Al-Cardcia of coach Brendan Rodgers, who led Liverpool, is also a candidate for recruitment."

According to the "ESPN" analysis, Salah's options are compressed into Saudi Arabia, which has huge capital, and the United States, where Son Heung-min waits. European big clubs such as Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have withdrawn their intention to recruit Salah due to his age and high salary.
