With just seven months left on his current deal, Salah has expressed his frustration at the lack of progress in negotiations, casting a shadow over his long-term commitment to the Reds.

Thoughts reds ? 🤔
However, reports from The Athletic reveal that Salah, now 32, would be open to a one-year extension, keeping him at the club until 2026. Yet, despite his willingness to stay, Liverpool’s management appears hesitant to meet his demands, fueling speculation over their strategy.
Salah has already racked up an impressive 13 goals and 11 assists this season. He has shown no signs of slowing down. He’s confident that age won’t hinder his aspirations of winning the Ballon d’Or, pointing to the recent trend of older players scooping the prestigious award. But his frustration with the club’s slow handling of his contract negotiations is becoming increasingly evident.
Mo Salah Hints Shocking Liverpool Exit?
After Liverpool’s recent win over Manchester City, Salah dropped a bombshell, hinting it could be his last encounter with Pep Guardiola’s side as a Liverpool player. With January fast approaching, Salah will be free to discuss terms with clubs outside England, sparking rumors of interest from European giants like PSG.

The crux of the delay seems to be Liverpool’s financial caution. The club might be weighing the risks of committing to another high-paying contract for a player in his 30s. Some reports even suggest a potential pay cut in any new deal, adding another layer of complexity to the standoff.
For Salah, staying at Liverpool is a priority. But he believes his next contract should reflect his elite status in world football. For the Reds, securing a short-term extension could buy time while mitigating long-term risks.
Will Liverpool blink first in this high-stakes negotiation, or could they risk losing one of their greatest players for free? One thing’s certain: every goal Salah scores keeps the drama alive.
