The chapter on Mohamed Salah’s journey at Liverpool is nearing its conclusion.
In an emotional video shared last week, the Egyptian forward announced he will be leaving the club after nine seasons in the iconic Reds jersey.

This announcement took many by surprise, particularly since Salah had just extended his contract a year prior, securing a salary of over £400,000 (approximately R$2.7 million) per week.
As speculation surrounds his upcoming departure, the future of the 33-year-old striker is generating considerable interest.
According to Ibrahim Hassan, director of the Egypt national team, two prominent European clubs are vying for his signature: Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
“I’ve heard about offers from PSG, Bayern, and clubs in Italy. Personally, I would prefer him to remain in Europe,” Hassan stated in an interview with ON Sport.
The Egyptian official also expressed his disapproval of a potential move to Major League Soccer.

“A transfer to MLS? He would be too far from the public eye. You wouldn’t remember him anymore, just like I don’t really think about Lionel Messi these days,” he added.
In addition to European and American options, Saudi Arabia could also be a plausible destination. Al-Ittihad, which previously made a £150 million bid for Salah in 2023, is still in search of a high-profile replacement for Karim Benzema.
Nonetheless, Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, has emphasized that the player’s future remains uncertain: “We still don’t know where he will play. Nobody knows.”
Klopp’s Tribute
Jürgen Klopp, the manager who played a pivotal role in Salah’s successful tenure at Anfield, paid tribute to the player.

Under their partnership, they celebrated historic victories, including the Premier League and the Champions League.
“Working with him was both a joy and a challenge. The statistics he achieved and the performances he delivered will be unmatched in the future. I truly hope that come the last day of the season, everyone will reflect fondly on one of the most remarkable careers we will ever witness,” the German manager remarked.
