Chelsea has been advised not to pursue Mohamed Salah if he becomes a free agent at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old forward is approaching the final six months of his contract with Liverpool and could leave the club for free once the season concludes.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool has recently presented a new contract offer to Salah, who first joined the Premier League with Chelsea in 2014. This follows ongoing speculation after Salah hinted at uncertainty about his future at Anfield, stating he sometimes feels “more out than in.”
However, former Chelsea defender William Gallas has warned the club against signing Salah if he fails to reach a new agreement with Liverpool. Speaking to Prime Casino, Gallas said, “I believe Chelsea should steer clear of signing Mohamed Salah as a free agent this summer. His arrival could disrupt the team’s harmony. Although he’s been outstanding in the Premier League, bringing him in might upset the balance of the squad and even strengthen a rival.”
Salah, who has netted 227 goals for Liverpool since his 2017 move, had a short and underwhelming stint at Chelsea earlier in his career, making only 19 appearances before being sold to AS Roma in 2016.
