With renewed talk about Mohamed Salah's potential move to Saudi Arabia, let's examine what's happening with the player's contract behind the scenes.
The Liverpool winger, dubbed the “Egyptian King,” is enjoying another stellar season for the Reds. He's bagged 13 goals and notched five assists in 19 games this season.
Players and fans hold the 31-year-old in high esteem, recognizing him as an elite footballer. Witness the LASK players begging for his shirt exchange after the Reds 4-nil drubbing of the Austria outfit. The Egyptian netted his 199th goal for the club in the Europa League group-stage match.
When does Mohamed Salah's Liverpool contract end?
Mohamed Salah's current Liverpool contract expires in 2025 — 18 months from now. And with all the hype linking him to the Saudi Pro League — after all, Al-Ittihad offered Liverpool a $189 million bid last summer — he wants to renew at Anfield. That's right — Salah desires a one-year contract extension for Jurgen Klopp's side.
The news may sound harsh to the club's owners, looking to rake in fresh transfer money. After all, Al-Ittihad is likely to increase their bid this summer. But the Liverpool fans will love Mo's commitment as if he's not already a club legend!
Acquiring Salah could significantly boost the financial profile and strategically enhance the visibility of the Saudi Pro League within the Arab world.
Mo is not in a rush; he's well aware that he'll still have fresh legs (and deeper pockets) for the Saudi Pro League when it comes time in a couple of years.
Let's enjoy watching Mo in his prime in the Premier League while we can.
