Mo Salah warned over Saudi Arabia move as ex-Liverpool star tells in-form Egyptian summer switch would be 'too soon' - but urges Reds bosses not to set 'bad precedent' with new contract

Premier League

Liverpool

Manchester City

<p>At 32, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/reasons-liverpool-run-away-premier-league-title-race/blte72e180c19e3531c" target="_blank">Salah is still scoring for fun in the Premier League</a>. The Egyptian winger has eight goals and six assists in 11 domestic matches this season, and is undoubtedly the most in-form player across England. But his future remains up in the air and with the clock ticking down on his contract, Salah could choose to sign for a new club in January as he enters the final six months of his current contract. Although an exit is on the cards for the decorated forward, ex-Red Johnson sees no reason why he should be departing Anfield anytime soon.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://insights.betfred.com/newsroom/glen-johnson-liverpool-are-favourites-to-win-the-premier-league-title/" target="_blank">Betfred</a>, the retired full-back said: "He’s shown that he still has a lot to give at the highest level. If he went, then we’d know why. I still believe he could do another few years at Liverpool or another top team, but the only person who knows what’s going to happen next is Mo. I believe a move to Saudi Arabia is a bit too soon for him.</p><p>"I don’t believe a club should pay a player whatever they want because it sets a bad precedent for everybody else, but I don’t believe Mo is that sort of person anyway that would set crazy demands. He seems like a good, honest lad and I don’t believe the finances would be an issue for him. If Liverpool have the chance to keep him for another 18 months or two years, then they should."</p>

WHAT JOHNSON SAID

<p>While it is likely Liverpool have already approached Salah about extending his stay on Merseyside, clearly a deal has not been easy to do. The former Chelsea and Roma man is one of the Premier League's top earners but with Saudi Arabia knocking at his door with a mammoth contract that would make him one of the highest-paid players in the world, the pressure is on the Reds to hand him a salary that will satisfy any potential urge to jump ship and head to the Middle East.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>For now, alongside Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Salah will remain a Liverpool player, but all three could leave for free in 2025. But should the Reds win the Premier League in Arne Slot's first season, it <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mohamed-salah-playing-39-cristiano-ronaldo-best-example-liverpool-superstar-reds-legend-egyptian-emulate-portuguese-goat/blt2a03236b43da9d45" target="_blank">could motivate Salah to stay</a> in what is already looking like a promising project under the Dutchman.  </p>
