Mohamed Salah Transfer Prediction Made by Sam Allardyce - 'Make No Mistake'

In a bold statement, former Everton and West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has predicted that Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool for the Saudi Pro League this month. Speaking on the No Huddle podcast, Allardyce declared, "Make no mistake, Mo Salah will go to Saudi Arabia. It's happening."



Allardyce, known for his outspoken views on football transfers, believes Salah's departure is inevitable despite the Egyptian star's recent form. Salah has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists in 20 Premier League appearances, helping Liverpool maintain their position at the top of the table. However, his contract expires in the summer of 2025, and ongoing negotiations have stalled.

The 32-year-old has attracted interest from Saudi clubs, particularly Al-Hilal, who previously tried to sign him last summer with a staggering £150 million offer, which Liverpool rejected. Allardyce argues that the financial incentives in Saudi Arabia are too lucrative for Salah to ignore, especially as he approaches the latter stages of his career. "The money is life-changing. He's done everything at Liverpool—titles, records. Why not cash in now?" Allardyce questioned.

Liverpool fans have expressed mixed reactions online, with many pleading for Salah to stay and pen a new deal. The club values Salah highly and is reluctant to sell mid-season, but Allardyce insists a transfer is "a done deal," citing behind-the-scenes talks. Reports suggest Salah could command a £100 million-plus fee even in January.

Salah himself has remained focused on the pitch, recently stating, "My future? I'm committed to Liverpool right now." Yet Allardyce's prediction has fueled speculation, with Liverpool's rivals watching closely. As the January window opens, Anfield braces for potential upheaval.
