Despite turning 32, Salah continues to shine, with 10 goals in 12 Premier League matches this season, proving that age hasn’t dulled his sharpness on the pitch.
A Contract Saga Unfolding
However, Salah’s future at Liverpool has been clouded by an unresolved contract situation. Currently in the final year of his deal, Salah recently expressed his disappointment with the club’s lack of a renewal offer. Speaking candidly, he admitted:
“We are almost in December, and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay at the club. I’m probably more out than in.”
His comments have fueled speculation about his next destination, with a move to Saudi Arabia emerging as the most likely outcome.
Redknapp’s Verdict: “As Good as Gone”
Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp believes Salah’s departure is inevitable, citing the allure of a lucrative Saudi Pro League deal. Speaking to The Sun, Redknapp said:
“If he hasn’t signed by now, Salah is gone, despite those cryptic comments about the club not making an offer. Next summer, he could pocket a £100 million signing-on fee in Saudi Arabia, plus enormous wages.”
Redknapp also speculated that Salah strategically stayed at Liverpool this season to maximize his financial advantage as a free agent:
“If Salah wins the Premier League this season, it’s a fitting way to bow out. But the uncertainty has been dragging on for so long now that his departure seems certain.”
A Fitting Farewell?
Liverpool’s current form under new manager Arne Slot has been sensational. The team sits atop the Premier League and leads their Champions League group.
Salah’s potential exit after such a successful campaign could be bittersweet, marking the end of an extraordinary chapter at Anfield.
For Liverpool, the challenge will lie in replacing a player of Salah’s caliber while continuing their resurgence. For Salah, a Saudi move might represent both a financial windfall and the next phase of an illustrious career.
