Mohamed Salah’s time at Liverpool is approaching its end, with his contract set to expire next summer.
As his departure looms, the club’s board faces pressure to find a suitable replacement for the Egyptian star.
Salah himself has hinted at leaving, stating after Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford that this will likely be his final season with the club. Rumors suggest a potential move to a Saudi Pro League team.
Despite his age, Salah’s form remains strong, having scored four goals and provided three assists in the 2024/25 season.
Fans believe he still has much to offer, making his possible exit even harder for the club.
Recent reports claim Salah has accepted a record-breaking offer from a Saudi club, which could surpass Cristiano Ronaldo’s deal with Al-Nassr, potentially making him one of the highest-paid players in football.
If the move happens, Salah would join a growing list of stars in the Saudi league, including Ronaldo and former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane, who joined Al-Nassr in August 2023.
With Salah’s exit on the horizon, Liverpool is reportedly considering AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic as a potential replacement.
Pulisic recently impressed in Liverpool’s 3-1 Champions League win over Milan, scoring the opening goal. Since joining Milan, Pulisic has been in fine form, with three goals and two assists this season.
His debut Serie A season also saw strong performances, though his time at Chelsea was less impactful, where he scored 26 goals in 145 appearances before moving to Milan.
While Pulisic is a promising prospect, replacing Salah’s influence and goal-scoring ability will be a massive challenge.
Liverpool’s board may still try to convince Salah to stay, as his performances this season reaffirm his status as one of the world’s top players.
If Pulisic does join, he will face the daunting task of filling the void left by one of the Premier League’s all-time greats.
