Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool appears uncertain after being left out of Arne Slot’s starting XI for two consecutive matches, a first in his Anfield career. Despite his status as the Premier League’s top scorer of all players still playing in the English top flight (190 goals) and a contract running until 2027, recent developments suggest tension, with Salah reportedly unhappy about his omission.

According to The Telegraph, Saudi Pro League clubs, particularly those backed by the Public Investment Fund, remain interested in signing him. Although their spending has slowed since the 2022 influx of stars, significant funds could still be allocated for a marquee player like Salah, who fits their vision of elevating the league ahead of the 2034 World Cup. Previous negotiations with SPL officials were described as serious, and Salah maintains good relations with them, which could facilitate a future move.

The market value of the 33-year-old and Liverpool’s stance will be key factors, as any transfer now requires a substantial fee rather than a free move.

While captain Virgil van Dijk insists Salah remains vital to Liverpool’s ambitions, the situation underscores that no player’s place is guaranteed.
