Liverpool star Salah reportedly rejects club's latest contract offer.
The Mohamed Salah contract saga shows no signs of simmering down - much like Liverpool's relentless title charge. However, the former could end up jeopardising the latter if Liverpool don't get their ducks in a row. With Salah now in the final six months of his Anfield contract, uncertainty looms large, and although the 32-year-old has expressed a desire to stay put, a summer departure looks increasingly likely.International clubs, who are now allowed to speak with Salah directly, are circling him while talks are ongoing, and one is apparently willing to make him a huge contract offer. Liverpool is looking into backup plans in the interim, and a La Liga player is being considered as a possible substitute.
Salah is the jewel in the Saudi Pro League champions' increasingly lavish crown, and Neymar, whose Al-Hilal contract expires at the end of the season, is anticipated to go in the summer. With only seven games in 18 months, Neymar has had a completely miserable time at the club, and Al-Hilal is eager to get his enormous salary—rumoured to be £1.6 million per week—off their books.Unlike the Brazilian, Salah shows no signs of slowing down, maintaining both exceptional form and fitness. He's scored 18 Premier League goals already this season - tying the tally he managed in 2023/24 - and has more appearances in all competitions than any of his Liverpool team-mates.
Back in 2023, Liverpool rejected a mammoth £150m offer from Al-Ittihad, and the Saudis are desperate to land their man this time around. According to Sky Sports, they're prepared to effectively hand Salah the keys to the kingdom if indeed he decides to wants to move there.
