Salah has endured a difficult season so far for Liverpool, and a week ago it looked as though the end of his Reds career might have been near after his ill-advised chat with reporters in the Elland Road mixed zone. It did not feel like a final farewell for Salah – whose appearance against Brighton was his last for Liverpool in 2025 due to his involvement in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations – and Keys claimed that it is likely that the Egyptian will be back at Anfield in the new year.

"The smart money is on a return to the fold post-AFCON, and a move in the summer – to America." Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher also does not expect Salah to be at Liverpool next term – but is glad that the 33-year-old's Reds career did not end with his controversial comments at Leeds. Carragher said on Sky Sports that the post-game interaction between Salah and Liverpool's fans was nice, but added that it was not a grand enough farewell for a player of his caliber.

"But does Mo Salah deserve more than that as a Liverpool player? "He deserves a guard of honor, he deserves a mosaic in the Kop, he deserves to be able to bring his family, his wife and his kids on the pitch and actually be celebrated for what he's done as a Liverpool player." Carragher called on Salah to keep his focus on on-field matters for the remainder of the season, before potentially finishing his Liverpool career off in style in 2026.
