Football: Mohamed Salah likely to stay at Liverpool despite opportunities

Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian star of Liverpool, may well stay at the club this summer despite interest from Saudi Arabia, but a threat looms over the Reds for the future.

According to reports from the Mirror, Liverpool has yet to engage in serious discussions to extend Salah’s contract, which expires in June 2025. This situation could potentially lead to a loss without compensation for the English club at the end of the 2024-2025 season.

Despite this contractual uncertainty, Liverpool maintains its firm position of not considering Salah’s departure at the moment. The club’s leaders have expressed their confidence in the Egyptian, believing that he will play a crucial role under the new manager, Arne Slot.

Salah, aged 31, has been a key pillar of Liverpool’s team since his arrival in 2017 from AS Roma. His consistent contribution on the field and his impact both on and off the pitch make him not only an icon for the fans but also an indispensable asset for Liverpool’s ambitions in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Salah’s future at Anfield remains subject to speculation, especially in the absence of tangible progress regarding a contract extension.
