The Egypt international has just one year left on his current contract, and Liverpool’s time to earn a substantial fee for him is running out. There was an offer of around £200 million for him last summer, which is considered a genuine offer.
It is speculated that an offer of this magnitude usually signifies an existing agreement between the player and the club, suggesting that Salah had already agreed to leave. There is a belief that he will depart for Saudi Arabia this summer, particularly with Jurgen Klopp leaving, signaling a new cycle and numerous changes at Liverpool.
This timing is seen as perfect for Salah, who is approaching the final big contract of his career. This is not the first time Salah has been linked to a potential exit from Anfield.
His non-committal stance on his long-term Liverpool future only added fuel to the rumors. Klopp’s response to the interview was brief, stating he had nothing to add.
It remains to be seen if Klopp will address the new rumor of Salah moving to Saudi Arabia, but with the summer transfer window approaching, it will no longer be his concern.
