Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah Reportedly Offered to European Giants as Loan Deal Discussed

By HITCsport Desk | Published: January 5, 2026

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has reportedly been offered to several European giants amid ongoing discussions for a potential loan deal, according to sources close to the club. The 33-year-old Egyptian forward, whose contract with the Reds expires at the end of the season, has been a cornerstone of Liverpool's success, netting 18 goals and providing 10 assists in 25 Premier League appearances this campaign.

Background on Salah's Situation

Salah's future at Anfield remains uncertain despite his stellar form. Contract talks with Liverpool have stalled, with the player seeking a three-year extension and a significant salary increase. Liverpool, however, are reluctant to commit long-term to a player entering his mid-30s. As a result, the club is exploring options to capitalize on his market value before he potentially leaves on a free transfer in July.

Reports from Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport claim that Salah's agents have approached Serie A powerhouses Inter Milan and Juventus, as well as Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have also been sounded out, though both clubs expressed reservations due to financial constraints and squad depth.

Loan Deal Details

The proposed loan would run until the end of the 2025/26 season, with the borrowing club covering a portion of Salah's £350,000 weekly wages. Liverpool would retain a buy-option clause, allowing them to re-sign the player permanently for a pre-agreed fee. This structure benefits all parties: Liverpool secures a transfer fee, the player gains competitive minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup, and the suitor club bolsters their attack without a massive outlay.

"Mohamed is open to a short-term move if it guarantees him silverware and World Cup preparation," an insider told HITCsport.

Liverpool's Contingency Plans

Manager Arne Slot has backed Salah publicly but admitted the club is planning for all scenarios. Linked replacements include Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz and Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres. Fans, however, are rallying behind #SalahStays, with over 200,000 signatures on a petition.

No deal is imminent, but with the January transfer window open, developments are expected soon. Salah continues to shine, scoring in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Arsenal last weekend.
