Mohamed Salah ‘increasingly likely’ to leave Liverpool if Saudi Pro League & MLS clubs can tick …

Salah has come back into favour under head coach Arne Slot in recent weeks having started each of Liverpool's last five league games, while he played a starring role in their 3-0 FA Cup win over Brighton having scored one and assisted another as the defending Premier League champions eased into the next round of the competition.

The 33-year-old has been directly involved in four goals across his last six outings, and means he has now scored four goals and laid on an additional six assists in England's top tier this term. However, Salah has struggled to match last season's exploits, where he netted 29 times in the league and finished the campaign with 18 assists to his name.

And a summer departure is "increasingly likely" according to BBC Sport, though that is dependent on whether Salah's hefty wage demands can be met. The Reds star is reportedly the joint-highest paid player at the club, alongside captain Virgil van Dijk, who also signed a new Liverpool deal last year.

Salah has interest from a number of Saudi Pro League sides, while a stateside switch is also a possibility with MLS teams keeping tabs on the player's situation. Conversely, reports last week suggested that Salah is happy to see out his contract with Liverpool if a suitable offer for both player and club doesn't come in.
