Mohamed Salah's future at Liverpool and potential move to Real Madrid make headlines amid his last year at Anfield.
After a pivotal 3-0 victory over Manchester United, where Salah scored once and assisted twice, the Liverpool forward confirmed that the 2024/25 season will be his “last year” with the club. At 32 years old, Salah revealed he has not yet discussed contract renewal with Liverpool, leaving his future uncertain. His current contract expires at the season’s end, fueling speculation about potential moves[2].
Real Madrid has been reported to show keen interest in signing Salah once his Liverpool contract runs out. They envisage integrating him into a front three alongside Rodrygo and Kylian Mbappe, ideally replacing Vinicius Junior should the Brazilian depart. Interest in Salah stems not only from his technical abilities but also from the prospect of securing him on a free transfer in 2025. Madrid has previously made offers for Salah during the 2024 winter window, which Liverpool rejected. Salah is said to seek a substantial wage of around £400,000 per week over three years, with signing-on bonuses under negotiation[1].
Despite reports that Salah extended his Liverpool contract until 2027, other sources indicate he might still weigh options, including a possible surprising move to Real Madrid before the end of that term. The Saudi Pro League also remains a notable destination in transfer rumors. Real Madrid’s interest persists, although a late-career switch is viewed cautiously given Salah’s age of 35 by then[3].
On the pitch, Liverpool continues to dominate the Premier League, leading by 11 points at the top of the table, with Salah contributing significantly to their current form. His comments post matches emphasize his desire to enjoy his final season without pressure, while his long tenure of scoring 160 Premier League goals since 2017 cements his status as a Liverpool legend[4].
