Mo Salah’s Future in Jeopardy as Two European Giants Make Their Move
Mohamed Salah’s contract situation has been making headlines for months, and it seems that the Egyptian winger’s future at Liverpool is more uncertain than ever. As we approach the midway point of the 2024-2025 season, the 32-year-old is still without a new deal, and two of Europe’s biggest clubs are reportedly circling.
According to reports, Italian giants Juventus and French champions Paris Saint Germain are both interested in luring Salah away from the Premier League. The news will undoubtedly send shockwaves through Anfield, where the forward has been a mainstay since his arrival in 2017.
Salah has been in sensational form this season, scoring in each of Liverpool’s opening three matches and racking up three assists. His contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and his comments after the 3-0 win over Manchester United seemed to hint at a desire to leave the club.
"I was coming to the game and I said, ‘look, it could be the last time [at Old Trafford]’," Salah said. "Nobody from the club has talked to me yet about contracts. It’s not up to me, it’s up to the club, but we’ll see."
Manager Arne Slot seemed to downplay the situation, saying: "It’s a lot of ‘if’. At this moment, he is one of ours, and I am really happy with him being one of ours, and he played really well."
However, Premier League legend Ian Wright believes that Salah’s future is far from certain. "I do get the impression that he will probably like to stay at Liverpool and break records," Wright said. "He has got that legacy to play for. Let’s say he stays for three years. Even if he dropped off in the last year, that’s 10 years of unbelievable service."
Wright’s words may offer some solace to Liverpool fans, but the reality is that Salah’s future is now very much in doubt. With Juventus and PSG reportedly interested in his services, it’s clear that the Egyptian will have plenty of options when his contract expires.
What’s Next for Mo Salah?
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is certain: the next few months will be crucial in determining Salah’s future at Liverpool. Will the Reds be able to persuade him to sign a new deal, or will he decide to seek pastures new? Only time will tell.
