Reports have emerged claiming that Galatasaray are planning a move for Mohamed Salah in the January 2026 transfer window. Salah, under contract with Liverpool until 2027, has seen his influence wane this season, scoring just five goals and registering three assists in 19 appearances.

Coupled with recent benchings and Liverpool’s ongoing defensive struggles, questions over his role have grown, providing Galatasaray with an opportunity to make a bold move during the January transfer window. Salah has also previously hinted that a move to the Saudi Pro League could be on his radar when the timing is right.

Salah himself admitted last season that he felt “more out than in” at Liverpool while his future was uncertain, though his new contract at Anfield now secures him through the 2026–27 campaign.
