A brief post on social media has added another layer to Liverpool’s ongoing Salah narrative.
Mohamed Salah has reported to Egypt’s pre-AFCON training camp, with the national team’s official account posting on X: “The King is Home
Both the image and the caption highlight the stature our No.11 continues to command on the international stage. From a Liverpool viewpoint, the timing is notable amid recent discussion surrounding his travel to international duty.
Salah’s journey to AFCON had already sparked debate after suggestions he would stop in Saudi Arabia before linking up with Egypt. That visit was understood to be for Umrah and possible tourism commitments, rather than anything connected to his club future — an important distinction as Liverpool juggle immediate objectives with long-term planning under Arne Slot.
On the pitch, Salah’s influence remains undeniable. His recent substitute appearance against Brighton proved decisive, with his corner delivery setting up Hugo Ekitike to extend Liverpool’s lead at Anfield. That contribution took Salah to 277 Premier League goal involvements for the club — the most by any player for a single team in the competition’s history.
Figures like that ensure speculation is never far away, regardless of social media headlines.
Liverpool’s position on Salah’s future remains unchanged.
Reliable reporting has helped cut through the noise, with David Ornstein confirming that Liverpool expect Salah to remain at the club at least through the end of the season. His contract runs until 2027, reflecting the club’s long-standing commitment following a significant renewal.
Salah remains Liverpool’s record-setting attacker, a senior presence in the squad, and a key part of the project this season. While international duty may temporarily take him away from Merseyside, Egypt’s message only underlines what is already clear.
The King may be home — but his Liverpool chapter is far from over.
