Liverpool will have to make a difficult decision over the future of Mo Salah this summer.
When Salah spoke out against Arne Slot after the 3-3 draw with Leeds United in December, it seemed as though there was little chance that the Egyptian would stay at the club beyond the January transfer window.
However, the pair appears to have made peace, and Salah’s form has recently improved, suggesting that he could return to the form which saw him register 34 goals and 23 assists last season.
Liverpool are heading into a crucial transfer window with Salah now 33 and Virgil van Dijk 34.

But if Salah does leave, where would he go?
Mohamed Salah would rather move to the MLS than Saudi Pro League
Speaking on The Athletic’s Walk On podcast this week, James Pearce has revealed that Mohamed Salah would prefer to play in MLS than move to the Saudi Pro League.
On Saudi Pro League interest, Pearce said: “That interest has been there in Salah for a number of years. It was there in January if he had really wanted to try and get away from Liverpool, but he didn’t.
“Because up until now, he’s never shown any great interest in wanting to go and play there because anyone that’s seen Salah interview knows that he is incredibly driven and loves breaking records, loves competing at the highest level and he’s not ready to drop down to the standard of the Saudi Pro League.”

In his 428 Liverpool appearances, Salah has scored 252 goals and provided 121 assists. There is no denying that he is one of the greatest attackers in football history.
It also makes a lot of sense that he wouldn’t want to sacrifice his legacy in order to continue earning the same level of salary he is at Liverpool.
He continued: “Now, the question is, will there be more suitors come the summer? The MLS is another possible destination for him.
“It’s been suggested to me that that actually is more appealing in many ways than the Saudi Pro League.”
