Salah to Juventus, the call changed everything

The bond between Luciano Spalletti and the Egyptian star keeps the dream alive. Experience, leadership and world-class quality: what Salah could really bring to Juventus.

Among the transfer rumours surrounding the birth of a new-look Juventus under Luciano Spalletti, one stands above the rest in terms of excitement: the possibility of Mohamed Salah joining the Bianconeri.

Reports of a recent phone call between the Juventus coach and the Egyptian superstar have fuelled speculation in recent hours. While the deal remains extremely difficult to pull off, one question naturally arises: what could Salah actually bring to Juventus?

The answer is simple: a great deal.

Not only from a technical perspective, but also in terms of leadership, international experience and a winning mentality. These are qualities Juventus arguably need now more than ever.

At 34, Salah no longer possesses the explosive pace that made him unstoppable during his time under Spalletti at Roma. Time catches up with every player, and one of the greatest attacking wingers of the last decade has inevitably adapted his game.

However, his quality remains unquestionable. Salah’s extraordinary career has seen him become a Liverpool legend, winning virtually every major trophy available, including the Champions League and the Premier League.

Along the way, he has written his name into English football history and established himself as one of the defining players of his generation.

After beginning his career in Egypt, moving to Basel, enjoying spells in Italy with Fiorentina and Roma, and ultimately exploding onto the scene in the Premier League, Salah has become one of world football’s most influential figures.

That journey has provided him with invaluable experience—something that could prove crucial in a relatively young Juventus dressing room.

Spalletti knows the Egyptian’s qualities better than most

It was under the current Juventus manager that Salah showcased some of his best attributes in Serie A: blistering speed, intelligent runs in behind, devastating one-on-one ability and a natural instinct for goal.

Today, those qualities have evolved. Salah is now a more mature, tactically intelligent player who can influence games without relying solely on his acceleration.

Further evidence came during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In Egypt’s opening 1-1 draw against Belgium, Salah played 76 minutes as the team’s technical leader.

Although he did not score, he provided the assist for Haskell’s opening goal and once again demonstrated the personality and composure that have defined his career.

From a tactical standpoint, Salah would offer Spalletti an elite-level solution. He can operate from the right flank, cutting inside onto his stronger left foot, but he is equally capable of playing as a second striker, an attacking midfielder or even as a central attacking reference point when required.

That versatility would allow Spalletti to develop multiple attacking systems without sacrificing quality. Yet his greatest contribution could come away from the pitch.

As Juventus look to begin a new era, the presence of a serial winner could have a transformative impact on the club’s younger players.

Salah would not simply be a signing for the present; he would be a figure capable of passing on a strong work ethic, an international mindset and the ability to handle the pressure of elite competition.

In that sense, comparisons with the recent impact of Luka Modric are inevitable. When players of that calibre enter a dressing room, their influence extends far beyond goals and assists. Their true value lies in raising the standards of everyone around them.

Negotiations would be incredibly complicated for Salah

Saudi Arabian clubs continue to show strong interest and are prepared to offer financial packages beyond the reach of any Italian side. Furthermore, Juventus’ absence from next season’s Champions League represents another significant obstacle.

Even so, a glimmer of hope remains. The relationship between Salah and Spalletti has always been excellent, and the Egyptian star has repeatedly described the Italian as one of the most influential coaches of his career.

That connection could prove to be the only real opening for what would undoubtedly be one of the most fascinating transfer stories of the summer.

For now, Salah to Juventus remains little more than a dream reports TuttoJuve. But it is a dream that perfectly reflects the club’s ambitions: bringing world-class winners back to Turin—players capable of making a difference both on and off the pitch.

And when it comes to fitting that profile, few names in world football are as compelling as Mohamed Salah.
