Salah, aged 31, is arguably the Premier League’s greatest winger, having been the top scorer for Liverpool in each of his six full seasons with the club. Across all competitions, he has accumulated 198 goals and 83 assists in 322 appearances for The Reds. Despite crossing the age of 30, Salah continues to perform at an elite level, contributing 16 goals in 17 matches this season.
During the off-season, Liverpool resisted interest from Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad, rejecting a verbal offer that could have amounted to £150 million for the dynamic winger. However, with Salah’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2025, there has been speculation that Liverpool might reluctantly consider selling him at the end of the current season. Reports, including one from Football Insider, even suggested a ‘done deal’ for Salah’s move to Saudi Arabia in 2024.
However, journalist David Ornstein from The Athletic refuted such claims in a Q&A, stating that discussions of Salah’s exit being certain are not accurate. Ornstein mentioned that there are even suggestions that Salah might prefer to stay at Anfield and extend his contract, emphasizing that it’s a significant decision for both player and club.
Now, according to journalist Francois Plateau, Salah is inclined to stay at Liverpool and sign a new contract. Additionally, Plateau suggests that manager Jurgen Klopp is also leaning towards extending his contract, even though Klopp’s current agreement runs until the summer of 2026.
The reliability of Plateau’s information remains to be confirmed, considering he was previously the reporter who claimed Liverpool had agreed on personal terms with Fluminense midfielder Andre for a potential January transfer. However, TEAMtalk has verified that Liverpool is not actively pursuing the 22-year-old Brazilian.
