Mohamed Salah has ignited fresh speculation about his future at Liverpool with a cryptic social media post following his crucial goal in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday. The Egyptian star, who netted his ninth goal of the season, played a pivotal role in propelling Liverpool to the top of the Premier League. Despite his consistent performances, uncertainty looms over his future as his contract expires at the end of this season.
After the Brighton game, Salah posted a message on X that hinted at the possibility of him moving on, while expressing his deep connection to Liverpool and its fans. He wrote, “Top of the table is where this club belongs. Nothing less. All teams win matches, but there's only 1 champion in the end. That's what we want... No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like.” The comment “no matter what happens” has fueled speculation about his potential departure as he enters the final months of his contract.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot, however, appears unfazed by Salah’s contract status. Slot has maintained a confident stance on both Salah’s and other players’ future with the team, including Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are also nearing the end of their contracts. “The contract situation becomes a problem if players don't perform as well as they are now,” Slot noted. He assured that there are ongoing discussions behind the scenes, even if he isn’t directly involved in these negotiations.
Salah’s importance to Liverpool cannot be overstated. With a reported weekly wage of £350,000, he remains one of the Premier League's top earners. His nine goals this season are a testament to his impact on Liverpool’s title chase, and his departure would undoubtedly leave a void. Salah himself revealed earlier in the season that he hadn’t been approached regarding a contract extension, admitting after Liverpool’s win over Manchester United that he considered the possibility it could be his final time at Old Trafford in a Liverpool shirt.
As January approaches, Salah will be eligible to negotiate with clubs outside England, which raises the possibility of him exploring other opportunities abroad. While Slot may appear calm, Liverpool fans are growing increasingly anxious over the futures of several of their star players. Salah’s recent message reflects his dedication to Liverpool, but his future remains uncertain, leaving fans hoping the club can secure an extension for their prolific forward before it’s too late.
