The 32-year-old forward, currently Liverpool’s highest-paid player at over £350,000 per week, is in the final year of his contract.
After scoring in Liverpool’s impressive 3-0 victory against Manchester United in September, Salah mentioned he approached the match as if it could be his last at Old Trafford. “I was thinking, ‘this could be the last time’,” he told Sky Sports. “No one at the club has spoken to me about contracts yet, so I’m just focusing on this season and will see what happens afterward. I feel free to play football—we’ll see what next year brings.”
Despite ongoing speculation about his future, Salah has been in excellent form this season, scoring nine goals as Liverpool competes strongly in all competitions. He netted the winner against Brighton, helping the team reclaim the top spot in the Premier League.
However, his comment on social media after the victory—“no matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like”—has triggered a strong reaction from fans.
Reactions included: “The last sentence feels like a subtle goodbye,” and “Reading this hurts—don’t tell me you’re leaving, king.” Others expressed their admiration, with one saying, “You will always be the greatest player of this generation for this club,” while another simply stated, “He’s gone.”
