Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool appears increasingly uncertain, and a move to Paris Saint-Germain could be hampered by a new issue, according to a SkySports report.
While the Egyptian’s potential move to PSG remains a topic of interest, there are key dynamics that could hinder this transfer, most notably the authority Enrique wields over recruitment at the French club.
Enrique’s autonomy in decision-making at PSG has been a defining feature since his arrival, and this could play a significant role in any potential move for the the two-time African Footballer of the Year.
While Salah’s agent maintains strong ties with PSG president Nasser El-Khelaifi, there is no guarantee that Enrique would prioritize a player of Salah’s profile.
The Spaniard, who has built his managerial philosophy on a blend of tactical versatility and youth development, may not be inclined to commit to a long-term contract with a 32-year-old player, especially given Salah’s reported demand for an extension until 2028.
Enrique’s focus on building a dynamic, adaptable squad could conflict with such a move, particularly if he believes Salah’s prime years are behind him.
Meanwhile, Salah’s own situation at Liverpool has become increasingly complicated. The forward, who has long been committed to Anfield, is now seeking a contract renewal that would extend his stay until he is 35.
This request is in stark contrast to the club’s management, who are only willing to offer a shorter-term deal, due to concerns over his physical decline in the coming years.
With negotiations stalling, Salah has suggested that he could leave at the end of the season, and his next destination is still very much up in the air.
