Mohamed Salah makes key decision on future as Liverpool superstar considers whether to follow Sadio Mane to Saudi Pro League

Liverpool

<p>The Egyptian superstar is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-trent-alexander-arnold-virgil-van-dijk-contract-plan-liverpool-boss-arne-slot/blt1f26b94211270933" target="_blank">into the final year of his contract at Anfield</a> and hinted during a recent interview with <em>Sky Sports</em> that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-admits-last-year-at-liverpool-dazzling-performance-man-utd-nobody-talked-to-me-contracts/bltc4cb052b968882b7" target="_blank">2024-25 campaign could be his last on Merseyside</a>. He said: “Honestly, I had a good summer. I had a long time to stay with myself, try to think positive because as you know it's my last year at the club. I just want to enjoy it, I don't want to think about it but I feel free to play football, we will see next year.”</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Salah, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-mohamed-salah-convinced-liverpool-hand-him-new-contract-egyptian-transfer-talk-anfield-deal/bltf75a199ad0bf524c" target="_blank">penned his last contract extension in the summer of 2022</a>, has also said “I don’t want to think about the future”, with the 32-year-old focused on the present. According to the <a href="https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-echo-learned-mohamed-salah-29869842 " target="_blank"><em>Liverpool Echo</em></a>, that means moving closer to Ian Rush (346 goals) on the Reds’ all-time scoring chart – as he sits fifth on that list with 214 efforts to his name – while also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-hero-mohamed-salah-matches-alan-shearer-tenth-goal-against-man-utd-at-old-trafford-misery-erik-ten-hag/blt8241a8704617b651" target="_blank">climbing into the top five of the Premier League list</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Interest has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-told-how-become-bigger-star-cristiano-ronaldo-liverpool-forward-saudi-pro-league-transfer/blt08978cea55a8e779" target="_blank">shown from the Saudi Pro League</a>, but Salah and his family are settled in England. The 32-year-old is prepared to shun lucrative offers from the Middle East if <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-labelled-miserable-so-and-so-liverpool-legend-100m-saudi-arabia-transfer-could-go-through-deadline/blt7cca16c1f92021d8" target="_blank">fresh terms can be thrashed out at Anfield</a> – with his current deal worth £350,000-a-week.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Salah has also seen <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-sadio-mane-feud-explained-roberto-firmino-worst-kept-secret-liverpool/bltbd724e042615834e" target="_blank">ex-colleague Mane struggle</a> since leaving Liverpool – with the Senegalese now working alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. A source has told the Echo: “Salah doesn't want to be like Sadio in Saudi Arabia. Even if it means more money.” His priority for now is to prolong what is set to become an eight-year association with Premier League heavyweights.</p>
