Mohamed Salah's impending departure from Anfield has sparked a flurry of speculation about where he might end up next.

The Egypt international will leave Liverpool this summer after a poor final season for the Reds punctuated by his outspoken thoughts on being dropped and the club's style of play under Arne Slot.

Salah has been linked with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia for years, with Liverpool turning down a massive bid for his services a couple of years ago.

Speculation that he might end up plying his trade there was rampant again after his summer exit from Liverpool was announced earlier this season - but Caught Offside claim that Salah is keen to keep playing in Europe.

To that end, they posit that Turkish giants Fenerbahce may well end up being Salah's next club.

Salah's representative have reportedly been presented with an 'informal offer' in initial talks with the club.

Caught Offside cite an anonymous source as saying: “Salah is hugely ambitious, at the moment I don’t see him going to Saudi. Fenerbahce have had some initial talks and it’s looking positive.”

Making that move could give Salah the chance to claim a place in the top ten Champions League and European cup goalscorers of all time. He is currently 11th with 54 goals in the competition, with Thomas Muller (57), Andriy Shevchenko (59) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (60) in his sights.

Fenerbahce are currently under the caretaker management of Zeki Murat Gole following Domenico Tedesco's dismissal last month.

Tedesco had only been appointed as Jose Mourinho's successor in September after the latter returned to Benfica, but was unable to close the gap on fierce rivals Galatasaray despite an extended run of excellent form.
