Mohamed Salah’s long-term future at Liverpool F.C. has come back into focus, with fresh reports indicating that a summer exit is becoming a real possibility.
Although the forward signed a two-year contract extension last year, earlier tensions and continued links with clubs abroad have revived discussions over what the future holds for Liverpool’s talisman.
Despite remaining an important part of the squad, BBC Sport claim the Egyptian star is “increasingly likely” to leave Anfield at the end of the season, with two potential destinations reportedly in the frame for the 33-year-old.
Liverpool had moved decisively to tie Salah down to a new deal, aiming to protect his peak years on Merseyside. However, in December, he hinted at frustration, suggesting he felt sidelined during a spell when he was regularly left out of the starting XI. Those remarks sparked debate, especially considering his immense role in the club’s success following the departure of Jürgen Klopp.
Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, Salah has regained his place and featured consistently. Still, his output has dipped by his high standards, with just two goals in nine appearances in 2026 — a notable drop for a player renowned for his relentless scoring.
Interest in the Liverpool icon continues to grow. The Saudi Pro League remains keen after previously attempting to lure him away, while Major League Soccer has also been floated as a possible landing spot should he decide to leave Europe.
At 33, Salah still carries significant commercial appeal and on-field quality, making him an attractive proposition for leagues eager to sign global superstars. From Liverpool’s perspective, timing could prove crucial. With his contract running until 2027, the upcoming transfer window might represent their best chance to secure a sizeable fee.
Whether he stays as a cornerstone of Arne Slot’s evolving rebuild or embarks on a fresh challenge abroad will play a major role in shaping Liverpool’s attacking direction.
