**Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah continues to be linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League in 2026****, with the division reportedly willing to triple his wages.**
It has been a season to forget for the 33-year-old Egyptian, who hasn’t come close to hitting the heights he has previously reached in a Reds shirt, [scoring just four goals](https://www.whoscored.com/players/108226/show/mohamed-salah) in the Premier League in 2025/26 to date.
Salah was again goalless in Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, with his dip in pace noticeable and his all-round impact not the same.
He is out of contract at Liverpool at the end of next season, but considering his struggles, there may be a temptation to cash in on him in the summer transfer window.
According to [_The Mirror_](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-mo-salah-cristiano-ronaldo-36685479) over the weekend, Salah “will be offered the chance to become the new face of the Saudi Pro League” later this year, with the report adding that he would “treble his £400,000-a-week Liverpool wages if he accepts a proposal.”
It is also claimed that the “Saudis are desperate for the Egyptian talisman to replace Cristiano Ronaldo”, amid doubts over the Portuguese’s future.
**Is this summer the time for Salah to leave Liverpool?**
---------------------------------------------------------
It has been tough seeing Salah look like a shadow of the footballer who was once among the best players in the world, and given his age, it is hard to see him ever getting back to that level.
For that reason, Liverpool may be wise to earn a hefty fee for him this summer, rather than allowing him to leave on a free transfer in 2027.
That would allow the Reds to get a big earner off the wage bill and bring in an elite-level replacement, but who that individual is remains to be seen. Bayern Munich star Michael Olise feels like an exciting option.
If Salah ends up seeing out his contract, it certainly wouldn’t be a disaster, but he no longer holds the power he once did because of his decline, and Liverpool should consider being ruthless when the season reaches its conclusion.
It may even be that the player himself feels his legendary Anfield journey has come to an end, hoping to make an impact in the coming months before potentially becoming the new poster boy of the Saudi Pro League.
