Mo Salah 'receives offers' from two European giants as Egypt official leaks transfer
Mo Salah has received offers from two European giants after announcing his departure from Liverpool, reports claim.
Last week, Salah confirmed that he will end his glittering nine-year spell with the Reds, having reached an agreement to depart Anfield prior to his contract expiring.
Still only 33, Salah is set to have a number of proposals all over the world to continue playing at a high level.
Though clubs in the Saudi Pro League and the MLS have been heavily linked, it appears as though there are a number of offers on the table from sides in Europe.

Ibrahim Hassan, the Egypt national team director, claims that he has heard that both Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich - two contenders for this season's Champions League, are both keen on acquiring Salah.
Hassan also urged Salah to remain playing in Europe, where he has spent the bulk of his professional career.
"Personally, I would prefer him to stay in Europe," Hassan told ON Sport.
"I have heard of offers from Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and clubs from Italy.
"A move to MLS? He would be far too out of the spotlight. You won't remember him any more than I remember Lionel Messi now. I don't even watch him.
"If he does not receive offers from Europe, then a move to the Saudi league would be a good option, especially with big names such as Cristiano [Ronaldo]."
Salah's long-time agent Ramy Abbas Issa issued a statement on the situation involving the Roma man after intense speculation.
Taking to social media, he wrote: "We don't know yet where Mohamed will play next season. That means no one else knows."
Salah receives public offer for lucrative move
Despite the remark from Salah's agent, MLS side New York City FC have expressed an interest in bringing him to the 'Big Apple'.
Brad Sims, the club's CEO, could not hide his desire to see Salah play for the team in the future and follow in the footsteps of greats like Andrea Pirlo, Frank Lampard and David Villa.
"I would love to have Mo Salah," Sims said, speaking at the Sports Business Journal Business of Soccer conference.
"We have not had any discussions with him or his people. What is most important is does the player want to come to MLS and be in New York City.
“We are not going to go out and sell someone on New York, the league or our club. We want players who really want to be here.
"And the other thing about star players is you need to make good choices... You need the guys who are going to be the hardest trainers, good team mates and good for the locker room and the culture. We do a lot of due diligence, and not just on star players."
Salah suffered a muscle injury in Liverpool's Champions League round of 16 win over Galatasaray and was ruled of the 2-1 defeat to Brighton and international fixtures with Egypt.
Reports say Liverpool are hopeful that he will be fit to return for the FA Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
