Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has emerged as a potential departure from the club at the end of the season. With his contract expiring next summer, Liverpool may face pressure to offload him in the upcoming months unless he agrees to an extension. Losing a player of Salah’s caliber on a free transfer would be a significant blow for the club.
Earlier in the season, there were rumors linking the 31-year-old winger with a move to Saudi Arabia, but Liverpool opted to retain him.
However, recent reports suggest that Saudi Arabian clubs are still interested in acquiring his services, with Keith Wyness indicating a possible £100 million offer from the Middle East this summer.
According to Wyness, Saudi Arabian clubs could propose a deal comprising £70 million upfront with an additional £30 million in add-ons for Salah.
Such a substantial offer for a player entering the final year of his contract raises questions about whether Liverpool would be willing to accept it.
The potential departure of Salah would undoubtedly weaken Liverpool’s squad.
Since joining the club in 2017, Salah has been instrumental in their success, contributing to multiple trophy triumphs.
His absence would leave a significant void in the team, especially considering the inconsistent goal-scoring performances of other players like Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz, as well as Diogo Jota’s injury struggles.
Salah’s departure would also have implications beyond Liverpool, as it would raise the profile of the Saudi Pro League.
Despite being 31 years old, Salah continues to perform at a top level and is widely regarded as one of the best players globally. Whether he is willing to make a move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career remains to be seen.
