Mohamed Salah has returned from AFCON duty, but speculation about his future at Liverpool persists. The Egyptian star's relationship with manager Arne Slot was strained earlier this season after a public disagreement, leading to his exclusion from the starting lineup. However, Slot has confirmed they have resolved their issues, which could influence the winger's prospects.
Despite the reconciliation, Liverpool's inconsistent Premier League results under Slot may prompt the club's hierarchy to consider offers for experienced players like Salah. A January transfer appears unlikely, with Slot stating there is "no issue to resolve" and hinting at Salah's continued presence. However, football remains unpredictable.
If Salah decides to leave, a move to Saudi Arabia seems the most probable destination. In 2023, Liverpool rejected a £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad, and interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, including Al Hilal, persists. Reports suggest SPL teams would require a clear signal from the player before submitting a bid. Salah signed a contract extension until 2027, but a summer departure before the 2026/27 season is possible.
Salah currently earns around £350,000 per week at Liverpool. Fan affection may encourage him to stay, but a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia could tempt him. The winger's form has dipped this season, with five goals and five assists in 1,768 minutes, compared to 34 goals and 23 assists last season. A change in management could reignite his performance, but Slot's position appears secure for now.
