The Egyptian star has made waves ahead of Manchester United's visit, suggesting he is preparing to leave Anfield.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has given the clearest signal yet that he is preparing for life away from Anfield at the end of the 2024/25 season. He admits he is in his “last year” at the club.
The Egyptian has been in inspired form this campaign, leading Arne Slot's side to the top of the table in both the Premier League and Champions League. A historic season beckons for Liverpool, but Salah's contract – together with teammates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk – may enter the last six months.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Salah revealed his ambitions for the season: “In my interviews over the last seven or eight years I always say [I want to win the] Champions League. But this is the first time I've said I really want to win the Premier League with Liverpool.”
He continued: “I have no idea. That's probably because we didn't celebrate the win in the way we wanted, and because I'm also coming back here, this is my last year at the club, so you want to do something special for the city.”
The prospect of losing Salah on a free transfer will give Liverpool fans sleepless nights, but there is still hope he will re-sign. Many have suggested that Salah's public statements – which have become increasingly forceful – are simply part of the negotiations between him and the club. Nevertheless, with the visit of rivals Manchester United on Sunday, Liverpool fans will be voicing their support for the star.
