Where could Salah go next if he leaves Liverpool? Barcelona, EPL rivals or SPL

Mohamed Salah could find himself in a situation in May where he has two hands on the Premier League title and one foot already out the exit door at Liverpool.

The 32-year-old has boldly cast his future into doubt after revealing there have been no talks over an extension to his contract beyond the end of the season and is currently 'more out than in'.

Salah is Liverpool's best player and probably the best player in the Premier League so far this season. Ten goals in twelve games have proven crucial in taking the club to the top of the league.

But any good feelings could quickly be eradicated with Salah currently in a position where he could sign a pre-contract with a European club in January if he decides not to stay at Liverpool.

Jamie Carragher has harshly branded Salah's omission to journalists after Liverpool's win at Southampton as 'selfish', and Salah's Reds future has never looked more in doubt.

Mail Sport analyzes where Salah could end up next and the chances of a transfer are being hammered as European and Middle Eastern giants circle.

Saudi Arabia (7/10)

The Saudi Pro League has spent a lot of money bringing former Premier League stars and European elites to the Middle East, but Mohamed Salah has always been the jewel they crave most.

It was at the start of Jurgen Klopp's final season at the club when Al-Ittihad made several outrageous bids for the Egyptian that ultimately totaled more than £200 million, but Liverpool held out.

Now they have the opportunity to sign Salah for free and will no doubt take his salary to even greater astronomical figures if no fee has to be paid to Liverpool.

Such a move would not only hit supporters hard but would also be an embarrassment for Liverpool, who previously rejected outrageous offers only to lose their best player for free less than two years later.

However, Salah has remained reluctant to make the move to the Saudi Pro League, which is now seen as a luxury retirement destination for players looking for a career-best payday, and Liverpool's only saving grace may be that the Egyptian is playing at the top level wants to keep playing.

Liverpool can offer that with Premier League and Champions League football, but they can't even come close to offering the same wages as Saudi clubs.

Barcelona (7/10)

The Catalan giants are keen on a free transfer and Salah would be a huge coup for a club that has suffered years of financial crisis but still manages to attract top talent with their world-renowned status.

Barcelona are among the contenders actively monitoring the winger's situation at Anfield, knowing that while they may no longer have the financial pull of other clubs, they do have a stage that the greats previously called home.

Hansi Flick has transformed Barcelona's fortunes on the pitch since taking charge last summer. The club sat four points clear at the top of the LaLiga and were in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, just like Liverpool.

The chance to play for arguably the biggest team in the world at a time when they are realistic challengers for major honors will be an attractive proposition for Salah, who has played in Italy and England but not Spain.

Spanish football also places less physical demands on players unlike the Premier League and this could be another factor Salah considers, knowing he only has a few years left at the top level.

Salah in a Barcelona shirt next season? It is not unthinkable and could be the perfect move for both club and player.

Juventus (4/10)

The Italian team has been chasing Salah for quite some time and previously tried to lure him away from Liverpool several times, albeit without success.

Flashback to 2019 and Juventus presented an offer of £44 million plus Paulo Dybala in return for Salah, only for Liverpool to reject their interest without even thinking.

Just three years later, the Italian club returned to the boardroom once again, this time attempting to tempt the 32-year-old with a £10million-a-year contract while teasing a possible departure before eventually signing a new deal. .

Now Juventus are flirting back with the idea of ​​bringing one of the best players in the world to Turin again, but this time they are not the leading club in Italy and are going through a massive rebuilding phase.

Salah should lower his salary demands and accept that he won't be joining a club that will challenge for top honors any time soon, but on the other hand, the chance to lead Juventus' revolution could be an attractive proposition, as it once was with Cristiano Ronaldo.

An unlikely move and if Juventus join the race for his signature, expect other Italian clubs with more recent success to do so too.

PSG (5/10)

Paris Saint-Germain have just unveiled their new state-of-the-art training campus, which puts Premier League clubs to shame and is already proving to be an influential factor in convincing top talents to join the club.

A move for Salah is being considered in the wake of the Liverpool icon's contract unveiling and PSG have the financial backing to offer him a lucrative deal that also virtually guarantees Champions League football every season.

The reigning Ligue 1 champions have long had ambitions of winning the Champions League and have come close in recent years, but ultimately fell short. The defeat in the 2020 final by Bayern Munich was a real hammer blow.

PSG have deviated from their previous recruitment strategy of bringing in big names such as Neymar and Lionel Messi and have instead placed a renewed focus on promoting youth talents and making the most of players with elite potential.

However, Salah could be the missing key in a team that has struggled for goals since Kylian Mbappe's departure and his individual ambitions could align perfectly with PSG's objectives.

The only sticking point could be Salah's willingness to play in a French league that is much easier than the English top flight.

Arsenal, Chelsea or Man City (3/10)

Even the thought of Salah joining another Premier League team will leave a sick taste in the mouths of Liverpool supporters, but if he is available on a free transfer it would be ridiculous not to think other English clubs would be interested are.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City will be best positioned to take advantage of Salah's time-consuming future, with each club able to make him tempting offers to stay in the Premier League.

Chelsea are on the rise and a Blues team with Cole Palmer and Salah will make rival managers shudder – not to mention the huge wages they can offer, which would likely outshine Liverpool.

Arsenal have been Man City's biggest challengers in recent seasons and Salah could be the final cog in Mikel Arteta's attack that will take them to Premier League glory.

Meanwhile, Salah loves to score against City and a move to Manchester to work under Pep Guardiola could guarantee Salah another number of top honors that have been harder to come by at Anfield.
