Mohamed Salah’s contract with Liverpool expires this summer, making him a potential free agent. He has been a target for Saudi Pro League clubs, with Al-Ittihad reportedly making a significant offer of £150 million in 2023, which Liverpool rejected.

Despite Salah’s previous ambiguous comments regarding his future, suggesting he was more likely to leave than stay, there are now reports suggesting that he is currently not in negotiations with any Saudi Arabian clubs. This creates considerable uncertainty regarding the player’s future, according TalkSports said.

Liverpool is optimistic about both Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk signing new contracts. The club is keen to retain its star players, suggesting that there are ongoing discussions with both players’ representatives. The club will be hoping to reach agreements with the players as soon as possible. The club’s efforts to retain the two star players, highlight the club’s commitment to maintaining its competitive position.

Despite offering Salah a lucrative three-year deal worth over £160 million annually—a sum that would make him one of the highest-paid players in Saudi Arabia alongside Cristiano Ronaldo—Saudi clubs appear to be losing hope of securing his services. They believe Salah prefers to continue his career in Europe. This decision is likely to be a very significant one and will impact Liverpool’s performance in the near future.

Salah’s outstanding season and record-breaking potential

Salah is having an exceptional season, leading the Premier League in goals and assists. He is on track to surpass his previous best goal-scoring record at Liverpool and could even reach the record for assists in a single Premier League season. His impressive performance and goal-scoring record underline his abilities and his importance to Liverpool. His current performance may influence Liverpool’s willingness to offer him a new contract.
