Mohamed Salah is Liverpool’s biggest superstar but it appears he will WALK AWAY from the club for free next summer.
The Egyptian King has been at Anfield for a little over seven years, winning all the major titles available to him.
Through his time at the club, Liverpool have won the Champions League, the Premier League, the Club World Cup, the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and other honours.
Salah has top-scored for Liverpool throughout every single season he’s been at the club, becoming an all-time Anfield icon along the way.

However, it would appear contract talks have reached an unsatisfactory impasse with Salah’s current terms expiring in summer 2025.
He is Liverpool’s highest earner, by far, and it remains to be seen whether the club will be willing to cut a deal on Salah’s terms before his current contract expires.
Salah is free to discuss terms with overseas teams from January, meaning Liverpool could find themselves in a competition to re-sign their own star forward in less than two months.

While Saudi Arabian clubs like Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad have been linked most prominently with the Egypt captain, there are other teams reported to be in the frame.
Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are thought to be keen on securing the No.11’s signature and a strong report has emerged from Turkey on Salah’s next possible destination.
Galatasaray shocked the world by securing the signing of Victor Osimhen on loan from Napoli at the end of the summer transfer window. And now the Istanbul giants have been tipped to repeat the trick with Salah in a report from Turkish outlet Fotomac.
It claims that Galatasaray club officials have already met with Salah’s representatives to discuss a contract for the 32-year-old.
The report also states that leaked documents show that Gala will offer Salah an annual €20m salary, excluding his hefty signing-on fee, in effect matching his wallet-busting £350,000 per week deal at Anfield.
Whether Salah would accept the terms on offer or favour a move to the Turkish Super Lig remains to be seen. However, the Reds hierarchy now have a benchmark for what kind of offers Salah can expect from around Europe.
