‘Not an easy situation’ - Manager finally issues Mo Salah Liverpool contract update

Mohamed Salah is one of three high-profile Liverpool players out of contract in summer 2025. The Egyptian King, along with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, will be LEAVING the club in a little over two months should no new deal be agreed.

Currently earning around £350,000 per week, the forward is known to be keen on staying at Anfield but the club have not yet made an offer that meets his demands.

This week has brought the news that Al Hilal are seemingly out of the running for the 32-year-old, but he will not be short of suitors should he leave this summer.

Salah is currently with his national team preparing for World Cup qualification matches against Ethiopia and Sierra Leone and the question of his future was put to Pharaohs boss Hossam Hassan.

If the former striker knows anything about Salah’s next destination then he is keeping it a closely-guarded secret. He admitted that he wasn’t sure where his star striker would end up, adding that the situation facing Salah is a difficult one.

This is a crucial decision facing the Egypt captain, who will turn 33 before the start of next season.

'It's not an easy situation'

“I will be the first to support and stand by Salah in any decision he makes,” he said, according to WinWin journalist Ismael Mahmoud.

“I know it’s not an easy situation, but he is a great player who will handle it well. I wish him success wherever he goes—he is Egypt’s finest ambassador.”

Meanwhile, Salah has NEVER won the Africa Cup of Nations, perhaps a surprising fact given how successful Egypt have been over the years.

Jamie Carragher recently caused controversy by claiming AFCON wasn’t a major tournament but it is a competition Salah deserves to win, according to his manager.

Salah tipped for World Cup glory

“It’s time for Salah to lift the Africa Cup of Nations—he deserves it,” he said. The competition is tough, but Egypt is capable of winning the title.”

In the meantime are the two games against Ethiopia and Sierra Leone, with Egypt top of the the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification Group A in Africa and looking a good bet to qualify automatically with Salah leading the charge.

“Mo is a great player who fully deserves his status,” said Hassan. “Having him with us is fantastic… Everyone in the national team, led by Salah, is giving their all to fulfill the dreams of the Egyptian people, who count on their stars to win the title and qualify for the World Cup.”
