Eight-year Liverpool veteran Mohamed Salah is reportedly ready to leave Liverpool next summer, with a Saudi Pro League move likely.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Mohamed Salah may have no future with Liverpool beyond the 2025/26 season. The eight-year Reds veteran is ready to depart from Anfield next summer, with Saudi Pro League his likely destination. The Egyptian international has already spoken about his Middle East rumours.
What has Mohamed Salah recently said?
Salah recently said, “I thought there was a good opportunity to join the Saudi League. I believed I might go there if I didn’t renew my contract with Liverpool. My relationship with people there [in Saudi Arabia] is still good and ongoing. There were serious negotiations to sign me.
He added, “Liverpool fans were part of the contract renewal process – they put pressure on the management because I’ve been at the club for seven years. From day one, I knew they wanted me to stay.”
A long and illustrious Liverpool career
Mohamed Salah has been one of the best players in the Premier League since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in a deal worth €39 million in July 2017. The 33-year-old hit the ground running at Anfield, scoring in his debut appearance for the Merseyside club. Since then, the veteran winger has been one of the most prolific attackers in the world, winning several individual honours.
In addition, the Egyptian international has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success, helping the Merseyside club win the Premier League (twice), the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup. The eight-year veteran has turned out over 400 times thus far for Liverpool, amassing 245 goals and 113 assists.
What next?
Mohamed Salah recently committed his future to Liverpool, signing a new two-year contract in April. That ended months of speculation surrounding the veteran attacker, with the player being outspoken about his situation. Widespread reports linked him with Saudi Pro League clubs, while the Reds were desperate to keep him at Anfield.
However, the 33-year-old Egyptian international is ready to leave Liverpool next summer, with the Saudi Pro League his likely destination. The report suggests that the Merseyside club’s heavy outlay this summer has been in anticipation of his exit next summer. It will be interesting to see if the player’s long association with Liverpool culminates after the 2025/26 season.
