“This could be my last season with Liverpool . It’s almost certain,” Mohamed Salah said in an interview on Sky Sports (UK).

“So far, no one at the club has spoken to me about the contract. So I just thought, okay, I’m going to play my last season here, my last game is here with Liverpool. It’s not my decision, but no one has spoken to me about this from the club. Let’s wait and see,” he added.
According to Marca (Spain): “Salah may want to put pressure on Liverpool’s leadership”. At the age of 32, the Egyptian star striker continues to be a “goal machine” and creator for the Anfield team. He has scored 10 goals at Old Trafford every time Liverpool comes here to play against rivals MU .
To put things in perspective, Salah’s goal total at Old Trafford is the same as Anthony Martial’s over the course of nine seasons, and it is only seven goals less than Cristiano Ronaldo since January 2021.
Salah began the 2024-2025 season with three goals and three assists in three games, assisting Liverpool under new coach Arne Slot in winning all three without surrendering a goal. They are only behind Manchester City because they scored less goals (7 vs. 9), but having the same 9 points and goal difference of +7.

Salah’s contract with Liverpool is limited for one season and expires in June 2025. Liverpool fans have long urged the club’s board to extend the star’s contract, but so far there has been no response. Meanwhile, many Saudi teams are advertising intentions to sign this 32-year-old striker in early 2025, when he will have full negotiation rights.
“It is very possible that Salah’s public statement was to put Liverpool’s leadership in a difficult position. They know that losing Salah would be an unpopular move. Salah has put the ball in the Liverpool leadership’s court. He did this right after scoring for his team in the victory over rivals MU at Old Trafford, which is completely reasonable,” Marca emphasized .
Salah scored the winning goal against MU in the 56th minute after setting up Luis Diaz to score in the 35th and 42nd minutes.
