Mo Salah’s Future at Anfield

In a surprising twist, Liverpool FC is reportedly optimistic about securing Mohamed Salah's future at Anfield, amidst circulating rumors that the star winger has already agreed to leave for the Saudi Pro League. Salah, who has been instrumental to Liverpool's success since joining from Roma in 2017, is set to become a free agent next summer, and the uncertainty around his future is palpable.

Potential Move to Saudi Arabia

Former Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor has hinted that Salah is eyeing a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia in 2025, having been offered a deal that is reportedly "too good to refuse." Despite these claims, sources close to Liverpool suggest that the club remains unfazed and is determined to negotiate a new contract with the Egyptian international.

Contract Negotiation Updates

Though recent reports indicate that Liverpool anticipates Salah leaving as a free agent at the end of the current season, the emergence of new discussions regarding his contract could signal a shift in plans. Notably, this follows an earlier statement from Salah, in which he expressed that this season might be his last at the club if no contract negotiations take place.

Salah's Perspective

“I’ve said, ‘Okay, I’ll play my last season and in the end, we’ll see,’” Salah noted, emphasizing his desire to focus solely on his performances this year. Liverpool manager Arne Slot mirrored this sentiment, expressing satisfaction with Salah’s contributions to the team while avoiding contract discussions during the current season.

Saudi Pro League's Ambition

Moreover, the Saudi Pro League has made their ambitions clear, positioning Salah as a potential ambassador for their league—a move that could massively boost its profile in the Middle East and beyond.

Liverpool's Growing Concerns

In addition to Salah's situation, Liverpool's squad is also under scrutiny as reports suggest that goalkeeper Alisson Becker is being closely monitored by Bayern Munich, especially with the uncertainty surrounding the future of their veteran keeper, Manuel Neuer. Furthermore, as Virgil van Dijk approaches the final year of his contract, the Reds have been keeping an eye on Crystal Palace's promising center-back, Marc Guehi, with interest from both Manchester United and Newcastle United intensifying the competition for his signature.
