Mo Salah: Rio Ferdinand’s “disrespected” remark as worries over Liverpool’s departure increase in the wake of the Arne Slot revelation
There are rumors circulating that Mo Salah may leave Liverpool, and these rumors seem to be gaining traction because to statements that Arne Slot would not be giving out new contracts to the player first priority at Anfield this summer. Since Michael Edwards persuaded the team to pay the £36.9 million required to bring the Egyptian great back to the Premier League from AS Roma, he has shown himself to be an incredible value for the Reds. In just 347 appearances during his seventh season at Anfield, Salah has blasted his way to 211 goals—a remarkable feat for a wide winger.
But since his contract expires in the summer of 2025, there have been rumors recently that Liverpool and the 31-year-old may be splitting up at the end of the current season. Last summer, the Reds turned down a club-record £150 million deal for the star, but they haven’t given up trying to get him to the Gulf State. In light of this, a further report on Sunday said that Al-Ittihad had made Salah a new offer worth a nine-figure sum, but it had been rejected. Consequently, there is a rising body of opinion that suggests Salah’s time is running out, particularly because the Merseysiders have agreed to replace Salah in the dugout for the upcoming season.
Fresh ideas accompany a new manager, and recently, conjecture has surfaced over Salah’s potential fit under the Dutchman. According to Danny Murphy, Salah won’t be Slot’s top priority. Although reputable reporters like Paul Joyce of The Times and David Ornstein of The Athletic believe Salah is likely to stay at this point, there are persistent speculations that Liverpool may decide to cash in on Salah. In addition, Danny Murphy, a former midfielder for the Reds, maintains that although Slot will ideally like to retain Salah, his primary priority will be to get new contracts for Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
