Mohamed Salah’s time at Liverpool is nearing its end as his contract expires next summer. The Liverpool board must now quickly prepare to find the best replacement for the Egyptian King.
After the impressive 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, Salah spoke to the media, confirming this is his final year at the club before his potential transfer, with rumors suggesting a move to the Saudi Pro League
Since the start of the 2024/25 season, Salah has continued to perform at a high level, scoring four goals and providing three assists, showing no signs of decline despite his age. Fans believe he still has more to offer.
Recent reports suggest that Salah has accepted a record-breaking offer from a Saudi League team, one even larger than Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract at Al-Nassr.
If true, Salah could become the face of the league, joining stars like Ronaldo and his former teammate Sadio Mane, who moved to Al-Nassr in August 2023.
Liverpool’s board is reportedly considering Christian Pulisic, the former Chelsea winger now playing for AC Milan, as Salah’s potential replacement.
Pulisic recently scored the opener in Milan’s 3-1 Champions League loss to Liverpool and has had a strong start to the season, with three goals and two assists.
In his first season at Milan, Pulisic tallied 12 goals and eight assists in Serie A.
His time at Chelsea was less successful, with 26 goals in 145 appearances before being sold to Milan for €22 million.
Liverpool’s board should continue efforts to convince Salah to stay at the club for at least another year, as his performances indicate he still has much to contribute, breaking records in both the Premier League and Europe.
If Pulisic joins Liverpool, it would be a major signing, but replacing Salah’s impact and goals will be a significant challenge for the American winger.
