On June 30, 2023 Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool contract will come to an end. While the Egyptian insisted last season that he will remain with the Reds for the upcoming season, his future beyond that is rather less certain.
He wants Liverpool and Liverpool want him but, so far, the two parties have been unable to reach a breakthrough in negotiations. While the Reds won’t break their wage structure to retain the Egypt international, they are still willing to make him the best-paid player in the club’s history, yet the forward’s agent previously insisted that the 30-year-old had no intention of signing the offer put to him back in December.
Free to talk to overseas clubs over a Bosman transfer from January, Liverpool know they will have to be nimble if they are to agree a new contract with Salah now. Especially after his representation suggested he would be willing to move to a rival Premier League club if the Reds don’t meet his demands.
