Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club in the summer transfer window.
Mohamed Salah will be out of contract in the summer, and Liverpool have not managed to agree on a contract extension with him yet. Recent reports have claimed that the Reds are ready to intensify their talks with the Egyptian international.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Salah is a target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League, and they are ready to offer him a €100 million-a-year contract to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can attract the seven-season Liverpool veteran in the coming months.
Salah is undoubtedly the best player in the world right now, and he has already registered 50 goal contributions in all competitions. He has guided Liverpool to the top of the Champions League and the Premier League. They are in the final of the EFL Cup as well. Salah will be hoping to guide them to major trophies this season, and signing a player of his quality for free would be a masterstroke.
Even though he is 32, the Egyptian international is one of the fittest players around, and he could perform at a world-class level in the coming seasons as well. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can rectify their mistake and sort out his contract agreement quickly.
Losing a player of his ability for free would be a devastating blow for any club. Liverpool must do everything in their power to keep him at the club beyond this season. The 32-year-old attacker has previously hinted that he is open to staying at Liverpool if the right offer is presented.
Salah must stay at Liverpool
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. A contract worth around €100 million per season can be difficult to turn down. Any player would be attracted to the idea of earning that kind of money at this stage of his career. Liverpool are unlikely to be able to match the Saudi offer financially, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Salah to stay and accept a lower offer.
The 32-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he is playing at a world-class level every week. He deserves to continue at the highest level and moving to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career could prove to be a mistake. He should look to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and staying at Liverpool and fighting for major trophies would be ideal for him. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few months.
