Anfield has been sent into a frenzy after a cryptic social media post from Mohamed Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas, ignited fierce speculation that the Egyptian King's legendary Liverpool career could be nearing its end.
The bombshell dropped on Monday evening when Abbas took to X (formerly Twitter) with a single, telling word: 'Deja vu'. The post was immediately interpreted by the football world as a major hint that the 31-year-old forward is once again a prime target for the mega-rich Saudi Pro League.
Summer of Speculation Revisited
This isn't the first time Salah's future has been plunged into doubt. Last summer, Liverpool's Fenway Sports Group ownership faced an astronomical £150 million offer from Al-Ittihad for their star man. The club's hierarchy, led by then-sporting director Julian Ward, stood firm and rejected the bid out of hand, a decision backed by manager Jurgen Klopp who saw Salah as utterly indispensable to his project.
However, the landscape has shifted dramatically since then. With Klopp's emotional departure confirmed and a new sporting structure under Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes taking shape, many believe the club's resistance to a world-record sale may have weakened.
What Does 'Deja Vu' Really Mean?
The agent's post has left fans and pundits scrambling for answers. The phrase suggests a repeat of last summer's intense transfer interest is on the cards. With no context provided, the message is a masterclass in stirring the pot, ensuring the saga will dominate headlines for the foreseeable future.
Salah himself has remained silent on the matter. His focus, ostensibly, is on recovering from a recent hamstring injury and helping new head coach Arne Slot in his transition. But this off-field drama threatens to overshadow a crucial period of change at the club.
A Liverpool Legend's Uncertain Future
Since his arrival from Roma in 2017, Salah has been nothing short of a revelation. His goal-scoring record is phenomenal, etching his name into Liverpool folklore. The prospect of him leaving represents a monumental moment for the club, signalling the true end of an era and posing the biggest challenge yet to the post-Klopp rebuild.
All eyes will now be on the coming weeks to see if 'deja vu' indeed becomes reality, potentially triggering one of the most dramatic transfer sagas of the summer.
