Mohamed Salah: Liverpool anticipates the attacker staying despite rumours of a move involving interest from the Saudi Pro League

The 31-year-old Mohamed Salah’s contract will expire this summer, but he hasn’t indicated that he wants to leave, and Liverpool doesn’t have any plans to sell. Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, will talk to Salah about his future after he starts his new position and Arne Slot is appointed.

Liverpool hopes Mohamed Salah will stay at Anfield for the upcoming campaign.

This summer, Salah, 31, will begin the last year of his contract, and there have been fresh rumours of his moving to Saudi Arabia.

But Salah hasn’t indicated that he wants to leave, and Liverpool doesn’t have any plans to sell.

After Arne Slot, the manager of Feyenoord, is chosen as the new sporting director and Richard Hughes formally begins his job, it is anticipated that Salah’s future will be discussed. Klopp’s replacement is expected to be named.

The forward’s decline in form and the altercation between him and Klopp on the touchline during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with West Ham have only fueled speculation over his future at Anfield.

After last week’s Merseyside derby loss, Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher remarked that Salah has been a “shadow of himself for a lot of this season” and hinted at the potential of the forward being moved.

“There is a real discussion for the new manager about what the future holds for Mo Salah – it’s the first time we’ve asked that question,” Carragher stated.

Al Ittihad showed interest in Salah last summer, but Saudi Arabian teams won’t pursue the striker this year until he explicitly states that he wants to move there.

Salah refused to relocate to Saudi Arabia, even though Al Ittihad was willing to pay more than £100 million.

As the professional game enters its next phase of development, Saudi Pro League (SPL) clubs will prioritise recruiting younger players this summer.

Salah’s desire to join the SPL and the purchase club’s financial ability to make the transaction work would determine the terms of any possible offer.

SPL teams anticipate a quieter summer after spending nearly £800 million on purchases last summer.

Leading Saudi football figures advise clubs to adopt a more thoughtful and long-term strategy in the market rather than squandering large sums of money on gaudy purchases.

Pundit Gary Neville of Sky Sports:

“I’ve watched a lot of Liverpool games lately, and Salah isn’t at his level. I was at the Merseyside derby. He is and has always been a fantastic player, but in the Merseyside derby, he completely failed to perform.

He didn’t even touch the ball once during the first half. He was squarely in front of me, facing Mykolenko, and I don’t recall him winning the ball. That was noticeable. After thirty or so minutes, I believe we demonstrated that he had five or six touches.

“They weren’t getting him into the game, and he wasn’t in it. Mo Salah, though, generally enters the game.

“You’re thinking, ‘okay, OK,’ when Ashley Young enters the game in the second half and genuinely replaces Mykolenko, who took a knock. Let’s get started. At 1-0 down and with Liverpool struggling to stay in the title race, he’ll fancy this. neighbourhood derby.

“Mo Salah just ran into a solid wall. You have to exercise caution because there was a player named Son here [in the north London derby] who appeared to be suffering and was gone when he struck a brick wall approximately eighteen months ago.

“These players play football so often and so consistently, and for the past six or seven years, Salah has been virtually always there. There just comes a time when you require a respite.”
