Salah’s Liverpool Future Questioned After Successive Benchings Under Slot

Reports of Saudi plans have revived talk of a move despite a deal through 2027.

Overview

  • Under new manager Arne Slot, Mohamed Salah has started Liverpool’s last two matches on the bench.
  • Jamie Redknapp told Sky Sports he would not be surprised if Salah left in January or in the summer given his reduced role.
  • Coverage notes that AFCON commitments and mid-season disruption make a January transfer less likely for some observers.
  • Mirror reports say Saudi Pro League clubs are preparing approaches, with Al Hilal and Al Qadsiah cited, while other links mention MLS side San Diego and European options such as Galatasaray and Barcelona, though no bids are reported.
  • Salah signed an extension to 2027 and has previously acknowledged a Saudi move was a real possibility; Mirror analysis estimates roughly £31m in remaining contract cost and suggests a hypothetical £70m offer could tempt Liverpool.
