Will Mohamed Salah leave Liverpool in 2025? Latest News, Update on Contract Negotiations for Reds Star Striker

Mohamed Salah is now 32 years old and has spent most of his career at Liverpool.

Now in his eighth season at Anfield (his first under a new manager since Jurgen Klopp was replaced by Arne Slot), the Egyptian winger remains a model of consistency. Slott is reaping the rewards of this, as Klopp has often done, with Liverpool leading the Premier League after eight matches and having won 10 of their first 11 games of the 2024/25 season in all competitions.

Despite rumors of a summer 2023 exit, Salah has rarely allowed his level to dip, scoring around 20 or more Premier League goals in each season for Liverpool.

But timing may be running out on Salah’s Merseyside career. The Sporting News explains the latest on the situation below.

Will Mohamed Salah leave Liverpool in 2025?

There is a very real possibility that Salah could leave Liverpool in the summer of 2025. His current contract with the club expires in June 2025, meaning he could leave on a free transfer at the end of this season, and negotiations have stalled.

Liverpool have rejected a £150 million ($194 million) bid from Saudi Professional League side Al Ittihad in 2023 and it is likely that clubs in that division could reignite their bid to sign Salah. Paris Saint-Germain are also reported to have shown interest.

But if he doesn’t agree to a new deal, he could be given no fee. Indeed, if Salah had reached January 2025 without an extension, he would have been allowed to negotiate with clubs outside the Premier League over the prospect of a free transfer in the summer.

The 32-year-old would make huge money if he were to join the Saudi team or even PSG.

According to Football Insider, Salah is is ready to negotiate a new deal, but wants it to be valid until June 2027 with so-called “mega money.” It is claimed that the Liverpool striker wants to achieve legendary status at the club by breaking goals and assists records.

However, whether the club is willing to keep him until he reaches the age of 35 is another matter, especially if his wage demands are significant.

Slot would not comment on Salah’s future or contract negotiations with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, who have also been touted to leave Liverpool. No breakthrough was achieved, which could potentially be a source of frustration for the manager.

Speaking before the October international break, the Dutchman said: “It’s the same boring answer as always. I could understand if you asked me about it once every two weeks, but if you ask me about it again two or three days later, you’ll still get the same answer and people feel like I’m boring them. So try again after the international break!”

Mohamed Salah Salary, Net Worth

In September 2023, The Guardian newspaper stated that Salah earned £1 million ($1.3 million) each week, although this figure is his total income and includes all his advertising and image rights, not just his salary at “Liverpool”.

Salah’s contract with his club, which was signed in July 2022, is estimated to be worth between £350,000 and £400,000 ($454,000-$520,000) per week.

This makes him the club’s highest-paid player and would mean another huge outlay for Liverpool if Salah and his intermediaries demand the same or even more for a new contract.

When did Liverpool sign Mohamed Salah?

Salah joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017 after a productive spell in Serie A with Roma and, before that, Fiorentina. He first appeared at Egyptian club Al-Mokawloun and then made a name for himself in Europe in Switzerland with Basel. The ill-fated Chelsea stint is just a memory at this stage.

Liverpool paid an initial fee of £36.5 million for Salah, which was a club record at the time. Looking back, this is one of the best businesses of the Premier League era.
