Liverpool wants Mohamed Salah to stay despite Saudi Arabia’s interest

According to sources on Monday, Liverpool anticipates that Mohamed Salah will at least finish the remaining year of his contract at Anfield.

According to Sky Sports and The Athletic, Salah, 31, has not indicated that he wants to leave, and Liverpool has no intention of selling.

When the Egyptian was getting ready to replace Jordan Henderson in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at West Ham, he got into a public altercation with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on the touchline.

Salah declared, “There’s going to be a fire today if I speak,” following the game.

At the start of the season, Liverpool turned down approaches from the Saudi Pro League, including a rumored £150 million ($188 million) offer from Al Ittihad.

But Klopp is leaving the team at the end of the current campaign, raising questions about some of his senior players’ futures.

With the support of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the Gulf Kingdom is anticipated to be a key factor in the summer transfer window, hoping to entice more big-name players to join a league that currently includes players like Sadio Mane, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Salah has scored 24 goals so far this season, but since suffering an injury during the Africa Cup of Nations in January, his play has declined.

The season has unraveled for Liverpool as Salah’s goals have stopped coming. The Reds are no longer in the running for the Premier League championship and have been eliminated from both the FA Cup and the Europa League.

Salah’s three-year contract, which he signed in 2022 for an estimated £18 million annually, has little over a year left on it.
