Liverpool make MOMENTOUS Mo Salah contract decision as clock ticks down to 2025 expiry | OneFootball

Liverpool are willing to BREAK from their policy of only offering short-term deals to players over 30 as they plot a new contract for Mohamed Salah.

That’s according to a new report in Football Insider, which claims that concerns over who could come in to replace the Egyptian when his contract expires next summer have led the Reds’ transfer hierarchy to consider a renewal the best option.

Salah, 32, last renewed his contract in 2022 with his current terms extending to 2025. However, the goalscorer has made it publicly known in recent weeks that he considers this his final season at Anfield.

That has been interpreted in some quarters as an attempt to put pressure on the club into offering a new deal but so far no terms have been reached between the parties.

The £350,000 per-week superstar was the subject of intense transfer interest from Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia in the summer of 2023 but Liverpool opted not to cash in on a substantial £150m offer.

The report adds that both sides are willing to sign a new deal but that the longer the impasse goes on the greater the likelihood that Salah leaves next summer.

Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are now both reported to have Salah on their radar with the Egypt icon set to become the most high-profile free agent of next summer’s transfer window.

Worryingly for Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot, Salah is one of a trio of the club’s main players out of contract in 2025.

Along with Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold will all be free agents next summer should no new deals be agreed.

However, the latest report suggests progress may finally be made in the club’s attempts to tie Salah down following a stunning start to the season.

Although the No11 suffered a tough captain last season due to an injury sustained at the Africa Cup of Nations, he has looked back to his devastating best this term, contributing three goals and three assists for Slot during the opening weeks of the Premier League season.
