Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain, with the Egyptian star revealing that he has yet to receive a new contract offer from the club. The 32-year-old forward, who has been a key figure at Anfield for several years, hinted that this season could be his last in a Liverpool shirt, sparking widespread speculation about his next move.

Following Liverpool’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Manchester United last weekend, Salah addressed his uncertain future during a post-match interview.

“I had a good summer, and I had a lot of time for myself to try to stay positive because, as you know, this is my last year at the club.

I just want to enjoy it and not think too much about what comes next,” Salah told the press.

The Egyptian winger also shared his thoughts on his time with Liverpool possibly nearing its end.

“I came to the game today thinking that this might be the last time I come to Old Trafford with Liverpool.

Nobody at the club has spoken to me about a new contract yet, so I’m playing this season, and we’ll see what happens at the end.

At the moment, we don’t know which club I’ll be playing for next, but right now, this could be my last season here with Liverpool.

It’s not my decision, but no one has talked to me about a new deal yet.”

The forward’s candid remarks have fueled speculation that he could leave Liverpool when his contract expires.

However, reports suggest that Salah may not be as eager to depart as it first seemed.

According to The Athletic, Salah remains keen to extend his stay at Liverpool, despite the growing interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, where his former teammate Sadio Mané currently plays.

Mané’s high-profile move to Al Nassr earlier this year has been referenced as a key point of consideration for Salah, who is reportedly using the Senegalese international’s experience as a cautionary tale.

Salah’s camp, according to the report, is urging Liverpool’s management to act swiftly and present the winger with a new contract.

The former AS Roma player is said to be hopeful that the club will offer him an opportunity to continue his career at Anfield, despite the allure of a lucrative move to the Middle East.

The Daily Mail also echoed these sentiments, suggesting that Salah is feeling “desperate” for clarity regarding his future at Liverpool.

While he has reportedly received a substantial offer from Saudi Arabia, Salah is not eager to follow in Mané’s footsteps by leaving European football.

Instead, his priority is to remain at Liverpool, where he has established himself as one of the club’s all-time greats.

As the speculation around Salah’s future intensifies, the ball is now in Liverpool’s court.

The club must decide whether to offer the Egyptian a new deal or risk losing him at the end of the season.

For now, Salah continues to shine on the pitch, but his long-term future remains in limbo, with fans and pundits alike waiting to see what decision the Liverpool hierarchy will make in the coming months.
