One possible destination that has seemingly been ruled out is the MLS. David Beckham&#8217;s Inter Miami franchise were the US side credited with a purported interest in Salah, but this appears to be unlikely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, Salah will be in the USA, Canada and Mexico this summer as he will be skippering Egypt in the World Cup.
