Odds Slashed: Mohamed Salah Tipped for Last-Minute Liverpool Transfer After Dramatic Twist

As the January 2026 transfer window nears its close on February 3, betting odds have dramatically shortened on Mohamed Salah departing Liverpool, with Saudi clubs emerging as frontrunners amid a sensational twist in the saga.[1][2]

The Egyptian star's future has been plunged into chaos following a public fallout with manager Arne Slot. Salah, who scored just five goals in 19 appearances this season, was benched for three straight matches and erupted in a post-game interview after a dramatic draw with Leeds, claiming he was being "thrown under the bus" and that his relationship with Slot was "non-existent."[5][6] This bust-up has fueled speculation of an immediate exit, reversing earlier predictions of him staying put.

Betting Markets Shift Sharply

Bookmakers like Bet365 and William Hill have slashed odds on a Saudi Pro League move. Any Saudi club is now as short as 4/5 (55.6% implied probability), leapfrogging previous favorites like staying at Liverpool (now 1/5 to 1/20 in some markets, but with "not to sign elsewhere" at 1/11).[1][2][3][4] Financially lucrative offers from clubs like Al Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad dominate, offering Salah symbolic prestige and massive wages.

Destination	Odds	Probability
Any Saudi Club	4/5	55.6%[1]
Inter Miami	11/1	~8%[2]
Galatasaray	12/1	~7.7%[1]
Bayern Munich	12/1	~7.7%[1]

Alternatives include MLS sides like Inter Miami (11/1) and Turkish giants Galatasaray (12/1), while Premier League rivals like Chelsea (25/1) or Man Utd (66/1-100/1) are long shots. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher predicts no January sale due to injuries but a "choreographed send-off" at season's end.[5]

With six days left, punters are piling on Saudi moves, implying a last-minute twist could see Salah wave goodbye to Anfield.[6] Odds are subject to rapid change—check Bet365 or William Hill for updates.
