Despite a dip in form and a high-profile benching, the club’s stance remains clear: the Egyptian King’s future is in his own hands.
Liverpool is facing a familiar dilemma with its iconic forward, Mohamed Salah, as a sudden dip in form and a reaction to being benched have sparked fresh questions about his long-term future at Anfield.
According to recent reports, the club’s leadership has already reached a decision on whether to part ways with the 33-year-old, either in the upcoming January transfer window or next summer.
Salah’s journey at Liverpool has been a rollercoaster in recent years. After a period of strained form and a reported clash with former manager Jürgen Klopp, the Egyptian superstar experienced a stunning resurgence under new boss Arne Slot last season. He was instrumental in Liverpool’s triumphant Premier League title win, delivering what many considered his finest individual campaign.
This past summer, he silenced speculation of a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League by signing a new two-year contract, committing his future to the Reds until 2027.
However, the start of this new campaign has told a different story. Salah’s influential presence has faded in the early matches, with some observers noting he appears isolated on the pitch, possibly affected by the tactical shift following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure. His struggles led to calls for a change, culminating in him starting on the bench during Wednesday’s 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. After coming on for the final 16 minutes, Salah was reportedly seen heading straight down the tunnel at the final whistle, visibly frustrated.
Despite this very public display of discontent, sources close to the club indicate that Liverpool has “no current thoughts about selling him.” While whispers are growing that his time at Anfield could be cut short, the club is not planning to cash in on their star in the coming months.
The report emphasizes that Salah himself will likely have the biggest say in his own destiny. Given his legendary status and the immense credit he has built with the club and its fans, he effectively holds the keys to his future. If, next summer, the veteran forward decides he is ready for a new challenge, the club is expected to respect his wishes and not stand in his way.
In other transfer news, Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is reportedly attracting serious interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants, led by manager Xabi Alonso, are said to be preparing a substantial offer for the Argentine, whom they see as an ideal, creative force to control their midfield.
