Mohamed Salah's departure from Liverpool this summer has been confirmed by the club, but there are multiple reasons why he should reconsiderMohamed Salah announced his Liverpool exit months ago, but several factors could prompt the forward to dramatically change his mind. The 33-year-old is currently set to end his nine-year stay at Anfield, with the Reds once again confirming his departure in the club’s retained list.The situation looked far from inevitable a year ago after Salah’s 29 goals helped fire Arne Slot’s side to the Premier League title in the manager’s debut season.

However, until he decides on his new club after the World Cup, there are three reasons why Salah could choose to reverse his decision.New projectThe first sign of Salah’s impending exit came when the winger was dropped from the starting XI in December. If working under the manager influenced Salah’s shock decision to leave Liverpool, Slot’s successor Andoni Iraola offers the forward an opportunity to be part of a new project.In May, Salah called for a major stylistic change in a social media post: “I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies.

While Slot was criticised for his team’s cautious approach last season, the new Liverpool boss is known for a more attacking approach and is also willing to accommodate individual talent, which may appeal to Salah."I sometimes value much more a player carrying the ball and forcing things to happen," Iraola said to The Independent in January 2025. Salah choosing to stay at Liveppol feels unlikely but football is unpredictable, as the Reds’ last two seasons prove.When asked about his future last month, Salah said: “I will still see [about where to go next], I have time now, I am going to the World Cup and then everything will be clear, either if there is a good opportunity before it I will decide, and if it is not there, I will make my decision after the World Cup.”Buy Blood Red, our monthly Liverpool FC print publication for just £3.50 by clicking here
