Mohamed Salah Agreement Reached as Liverpool Transfer Prediction Made

Liverpool FC has reportedly reached a new contract agreement with star forward Mohamed Salah, but with a planned exit looming in summer 2026. The 33-year-old Egyptian winger, fresh off his best-ever season in 2024/25 where he scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists to help Liverpool clinch the Premier League title, signed a two-year extension amid protracted negotiations.^[2]

Despite fan pressure and Salah's deep connection to Anfield after seven years, sources indicate he is set to depart next summer, likely for the Saudi Pro League, which has long coveted him as a marquee signing.^[2] Salah himself admitted ongoing talks with Saudi officials, stating, “I thought there was a good opportunity to join the Saudi League” if he hadn't renewed, though he emphasized his commitment due to supporter backing.^[2] Liverpool, preparing for the void, have invested over €300 million in transfers to bolster the squad.^[2]

Club officials have outlined a firm stance: they are unwilling to sell Salah in upcoming windows, leaving the decision to him, per Football Insider reports.^[3] With his current deal running until the end of 2026/27, the Reds risk losing him as a free agent if no sale materializes, though predictions suggest a transfer fee will be secured.^[3] Salah's form this 25/26 season has dipped slightly to four goal involvements in the Premier League, but he remains pivotal.^[3]

Manager Arne Slot has dismissed concerns over Salah's recent benching in a Champions League win against Eintracht Frankfurt, focusing on team morale.^[3] Transfer experts predict Liverpool will "break the bank" post-agreement to replace him, amid speculation of a £60 million price tag from earlier rumors.^[1][4] As one of Anfield's all-time greats, Salah's legacy is secure, but his Saudi move appears inevitable unless an U-turn occurs.^[2]
