Liverpool star’s future uncertain as reports suggest a contract exceeding Ronaldo’s earnings is on the table.
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could soon find himself at the center of a seismic move, with reports suggesting that a Saudi Pro League side is prepared to offer him a record-breaking salary that could surpass Cristiano Ronaldo’s staggering earnings.
Contract Uncertainty Looms
Salah, 32, is under contract with Liverpool until June 2025, but his future at Anfield remains uncertain as the club has yet to secure a new deal with the Egyptian star. Following Liverpool’s 3-2 victory over Southampton last Sunday, Salah openly shared his frustrations about the unresolved situation.
Speaking to journalists outside St. Mary’s Stadium, Salah admitted he felt “disappointed” with the lack of progress on his future and hinted that he was “probably more out than in.”
Saudi Clubs Preparing to Pounce
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Saudi Pro League officials are keen to capitalize on Salah’s contract uncertainty. Sources suggest they are ready to offer him an “astronomical” deal, potentially surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s £177 million annual salary at Al Nassr.
Salah was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in August 2023, when Al-Ittihad reportedly offered £150 million for his services. While the move didn’t materialize, a potential free transfer in 2025 could allow Salah to command a contract exceeding that of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
A Legacy Decision
For Salah, the decision goes beyond money. He remains one of the most iconic figures in global football and a revered sports hero across the Arab world. Any move to Saudi Arabia would be monumental for the region, further elevating the Saudi Pro League’s reputation as a destination for top-tier talent.
However, staying at Liverpool would allow Salah to continue competing at the highest level in Europe and add to his legacy at the club, which currently sits atop both the Premier League and Champions League standings.
Liverpool’s Challenges Extend Beyond Salah
Salah’s contract saga isn’t Liverpool’s only concern. Key players Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also nearing the ends of their contracts, adding pressure on the club to secure its core talents for the future.
As Salah weighs his options, the allure of a groundbreaking payday in Saudi Arabia stands against his enduring drive for silverware in European football. The next few months will be crucial in determining whether Liverpool’s talisman stays at Anfield or embarks on a new chapter in his storied career.
