Mohamed Salah may have played his last-ever game in a Liverpool shirt over the weekend against Crystal Palace. Image Credits: Imago ImagesMohamed Salah’s nine-year stay at Anfield is hurtling towards a conclusion that no Liverpool supporter wanted to see.The Egyptian was forced off in the 60th minute of Saturday’s 3-1 win over Crystal Palace after pulling up clutching his left hamstring, applauding all four sides of Anfield as he limped down the tunnel – a farewell scene that may yet prove to have been his final act in a red shirt.Egypt national team director Ibrahim Hassan has since told Reuters that Salah has suffered a hamstring tear and will need around four weeks of rehabilitation, a timeline that effectively rules him out for the remainder of Liverpool’s Premier League campaign.With the Reds visiting Manchester United on May 3 before hosting Chelsea, travelling to Aston Villa and closing the season against Brentford on May 24, the 33-year-old looks unlikely to add to his 257 club goals.
Arne Slot, however, refused to write off the Brentford finale entirely.However, it seems that the Egyptian is making moves off the pitch soon, at least according to those in the Egyptian national team camp.Clarity over Mohamed Salah’s future could arrive sooner than expected, with Egyptian national team media coordinator Muhammad Murad indicating the forward is just days away from settling on his next club and making it public:“There are news stories being written about him having offers from Italy and France and other big teams in the world – this is, of course, true, he is a big star and would be a big addition to any team,” said Murad as quoted by FourFour Two“Whichever team Salah picks, we will support him – he [also] has offers from Saudi… I think in a few days he will announce his next destination.”Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal continue to lurk with the most lucrative package on the table. With his Liverpool farewell against Brentford on May 24 now in serious doubt, the next headline involving Salah may well drop from Cairo or Riyadh rather than Anfield – and based on Murad’s timeline, within the week.
