As the 2024/25 season edges towards its climax, the future of Liverpool’s superstar, Mo Salah, hangs in the balance. There’s a growing chance that the Egyptian international’s contract may not be extended beyond the summer window, making him a tantalizing prospect for clubs worldwide. The Saudi Pro League, in particular, with Al-Hilal at its forefront, has shown consistent interest in the dynamic forward.
However, Liverpool’s brass is unlikely to let Salah depart without putting up a fight to retain him. It’s improbable that the club will authorize any transfer before the season’s end, considering the weight of his performance and contribution to the team.
The rumor mill has been active with speculations about Bayern Munich’s potential interest in this free agent. Nevertheless, this speculation was promptly dismissed by Bundesliga insider, Christian Falk. He confirmed, “It’s not true that Bayern would be prepared to swoop for Mo Salah if his contract is allowed to expire at Liverpool.” He further clarified that there’s no interest from Bayern Munich in Salah or his teammate Virgil van Dijk.
This stance is understandable, given Bayern’s current financial situation. With a conscious effort to reduce their wage bill, adding Salah, who reportedly earns more than £350,000-per-week at Liverpool, seems unlikely. This sum would make Salah the second-highest earner in Bayern, behind Harry Kane.
Financial constraints aside, the idea of Salah moving to Bayern Munich was never really a promising one. Liverpool remains committed to renewing Salah’s contract, and negotiations with his representatives continue.
Despite the ticking clock and looming end of the season, optimism persists that an agreement will be reached. After all, Liverpool has every reason to retain the 32-year-old striker, who shows no signs of slowing down.
With an impressive performance record, Salah’s contribution to Liverpool over the seasons has been nothing short of phenomenal. His consistent goal contributions per minute have been remarkable, with the current season seeing him contribute 52 goals in 40 games as of March 6.
The question now is whether a mutual understanding that values Salah’s contribution without undermining Liverpool’s commitment to sustainability can be reached. If Arne Slot continues his successful trajectory at the club, it’s highly likely that Salah’s performance will be instrumental in the next two campaigns.
In conclusion, the spotlight remains firmly focused on Salah’s contract situation. As this Liverpool saga unfolds, one thing is clear – the Reds are not willing to lose their Egyptian King without a fight.
