Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool Future Uncertain, Claims Former Teammate

Dejan Lovren, ex-Liverpool defender and close friend of Mohamed Salah, has indicated that the Egyptian forward may be on the verge of leaving Anfield. With Salah’s contract set to expire in the summer and negotiations seemingly at a standstill, speculation about his future has intensified.

Lovren shared his insights with a sports outlet, stating: “My impression is that Salah is leaning towards departure rather than staying. While I hope the situation changes, that’s my current understanding based on what I know.”

Salah himself has dropped hints about a potential exit, mentioning after recent matches against Manchester City and Manchester United that they could be his last encounters with these rivals as a Liverpool player. The 31-year-old is reportedly seeking a new three-year deal with terms similar to his current contract.

Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have so far been reluctant to meet Salah’s wage demands. The prolific striker is aware of lucrative opportunities potentially available in the Saudi Pro League.

In recent comments, Salah expressed a strong desire to win the Premier League in what he described as likely his final year at Liverpool. He stated, “At this point, it appears to be my last season. There’s been no progress in contract discussions over the past six months. We’re far from reaching an agreement, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens.”

As Liverpool’s top scorer continues to shine on the pitch, the uncertainty surrounding his future adds an intriguing subplot to the club’s season. Fans will be hoping for a resolution that keeps their talismanic forward at Anfield beyond the current campaign.
