Former Aston Villa striker and football pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor has suggested that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is set to leave the club.
Several key Liverpool players, including Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, have entered the final year of their contracts at Anfield, raising uncertainty about their futures.
Agbonlahor believes Salah has already made up his mind to depart and that his next destination will be Saudi Arabia.
According to the talkSPORT pundit, Salah is expected to secure a lucrative deal that would see him earn more than Cristiano Ronaldo, positioning him as the face of football in the Middle East.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor told Alan Brazil that Salah is bound for the Saudi Pro League by the end of the season. He said, “I know Salah’s going.
I’ve got a source that told me Salah’s definitely going.” When Brazil asked where, Agbonlahor replied, “Saudi, on a record contract. I’m hearing that he will earn more than Ronaldo, and he’ll be the face of football over there.
You can’t turn that down if you’re Mo Salah. He’s done everything at Liverpool, hasn’t he?”Despite Agbonlahor’s claims, nothing has been officially confirmed regarding Salah’s future.
Liverpool could still offer him a new contract, and the Reds may act before the January window, when Salah would be free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with any club.
If Liverpool wants to retain their star forward, they will need to address his contract situation before the new year to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
Salah remains one of Liverpool’s standout performers, having scored four goals this season. Alongside Luis Diaz, the Egyptian forward has been crucial to the team’s success under new manager Arne Slot.
Given his continued top-level performances, a move to Saudi Arabia could seem premature at this stage of his career.Salah remains one of the best players in the world in his position, and Liverpool may need to act quickly to keep him.
Though the allure of a massive contract in Saudi Arabia could be tempting, Salah still has much to offer in European football, and extending his stay at Anfield would benefit both the player and the club.
