Liverpool will not entertain bids to part ways with 33-year-old Egyptian international Mohamed Salah amid his links with Saudi Pro League clubs.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Mohamed Salah remains in an odd situation after his recent bombshell interview, where he took swipes at Liverpool manager Arne Slot. That has paved the way for widespread speculation surrounding his long-term future, with Saudi Pro League clubs keen on securing his services.

The veteran attacker’s camp “feel that the best situation would be for Liverpool and the player to come to an agreement over a mutual termination over the remaining 18 months of his huge contract”, akin to Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United three years ago. However, the Premier League champions do not plan to entertain bids to part ways with him in the winter transfer window.

How has Mohamed Salah landed in a soup?

Mohamed Salah has established himself as one of the world’s best players since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in a deal worth €39 million in July 2017. The 33-year-old did not take long to find his feet at Anfield, scoring in his debut appearance for the Merseyside club. Since then, the veteran winger has gone from strength to strength, winning several individual honours.

Additionally, the Egyptian international has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success, helping the Merseyside club win the Premier League (twice), the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup. However, the long-serving Liverpool talisman has endured a dreadful 2025/26 campaign, managing only five goals and three assists in 19 outings thus far. The latest bombshell came after his recent explosive interview.

What next?

Since that bombshell interview, widespread reports have linked Mohamed Salah with several European bigwigs. However, a realistic move for the former Chelsea winger would be outside Europe, with Saudi Pro League outfits and MLS clubs keen on securing his services midway through the 2025/26 season.

Recent reports have linked the African attacker with Al-Hilal and San Diego FC. However, they have also suggested that despite the mounting speculation, Liverpool’s stance on the player’s future has not changed. The latest update corroborates that, revealing that the Reds do not plan to part ways with him anytime soon.

Interestingly, the Egyptian attacker’s camp “feel that the best situation would be for Liverpool and the player to come to an agreement over a mutual termination over the remaining 18 months of his huge contract”, akin to Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Manchester United three years ago. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 33-year-old.
