Mohamed Salah‘s future at Liverpool is up in the air as his contract nears its end, with no new agreement reached so far.
With his current deal expiring next summer, Salah could be free to negotiate with other clubs within a few months, a situation that may open doors Liverpool would prefer stay closed.
Since arriving from AS Roma in 2017 for a reported £35 million, Salah has established himself not only as Liverpool’s standout performer but also as one of the world’s top players. His statistics are a testament to his impact: an incredible 220 goals and 98 assists in 365 games, equating to a remarkable 318 goal involvements. This level of output has placed him alongside the game’s elite, often drawing comparisons to stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
This season, Salah has continued his blistering form, contributing nine goals and nine assists across 16 games in all competitions. His performances have helped propel Liverpool to the top positions in both the Premier League and Champions League standings, reinforcing his status as a linchpin in the squad. Despite being 31, he shows no signs of slowing down and remains as influential as ever, which makes Liverpool’s delay in securing his future all the more surprising.
Reports suggest that Salah’s camp remains open to exploring other options. According to sources from Football Insider, both the player and his representatives may be prepared to assess offers from other clubs willing to compete for his signature. While Liverpool is likely to be in the mix, the potential for a move abroad has become a realistic possibility. In particular, Saudi clubs have reportedly shown a strong interest, with intentions to make him one of the highest-paid players globally, if not the very highest. This pursuit reflects Saudi Arabia’s wider ambition to attract top-tier talent to its rapidly growing football league.
Salah himself has previously expressed a desire to stay with Liverpool, a sentiment that suggests his preference would be to remain in Merseyside, provided an agreement can be reached. The ball, therefore, appears to be in Liverpool’s court, with the onus on the club to match his ambitions and secure him on a deal that reflects his contribution and stature. However, as the situation drags on, Liverpool fans face the uncomfortable reality that Salah could enter talks with other European clubs as early as January.
The club is believed to be keen on reaching an agreement and extending his contract. However, with time ticking down and the prospect of offers from abroad looming, it is uncertain whether a resolution will come soon. A departure remains a distinct possibility unless Liverpool can finalize negotiations and secure Salah’s future at Anfield.
Salah’s desire to stay may still be genuine, the prospect of exploring alternative offers could shift the landscape considerably. As things stand, Liverpool’s hesitation may leave room for competing offers that could see the Egyptian superstar move on from the club he has represented so brilliantly for six seasons.
