"Back to Italy? I don't know." Apparently, Salah hasn't forgotten Italian. Immediately after Australia's round of 16 match against Egypt in the 2026 World Cup, he answered in Italian, with a sly smile, about his possible return to Italy.

The regular time and extra time ended in a 1-1 draw, and Egypt ultimately won in a penalty shootout. Egypt made history, and Salah will also be remembered for his Panenka penalty goal. Former Roma goalkeeper Ryan was helpless. In an interview with DAZN after the match, Salah did not close the door on a return to Serie A after leaving Liverpool as a free agent.

The former Fiorentina and Roma forward, speaking about the newly secured spot in the 2026 World Cup Round of 16, first said: "We are very happy, satisfied, and proud to make history for Egypt. Is it Argentina's turn now? They haven't beaten Cape Verde yet, and Argentina isn't just Messi; they are a very strong team." Finally, he brought the conversation back to transfers: "Back to Italy? I don't know. We'll see."
