Mohamed Salah Points at Potential Anfield Exit Next Season, Despite Stellar Performances

Liverpool demolished their arch-rivals Manchester United winning 3-0, at Old Trafford on Sunday, in one of the most iconic rivalries in English Football. For Liverpool, talisman Mohamed Salah pulled off another ‘Man of the Match’ performance in the Premier League, following a record-breaking start to the 2024-25 campaign. 

Interestingly, Salah was involved in all three goals scored by the Reds, providing two assists and netting the third goal to seal the win for his side and claim all three points on Matchweek third. Consequently, Arne Slot has now managed to pick up three successive league wins and 9 points equal to Manchester City. 

The Egyptian International has accomplished the extraordinary feat of scoring in seven consecutive matches at Old Trafford. And against the Red Devils, he has a staggering 15 goals tally – the most by any player. In the season opener, the winger shattered another Premier League record and has three goals and as many assists in three appearances so far, this season.

“I had a good summer and had a long time to myself to try to stay positive because as you know it’s my last year at the club.”, Mohamed Salah told Sky Sports in the post-match interview. 

He added, “I just want to enjoy it and I don’t want to think about it. I feel like I’m free to play football and then we’ll see what happens next year. No one at the club has spoken to me about contracts, so I’m just like, ‘OK, I’m playing my last season’ and see what happens at the end of the season.”

The 32-year-old forward has entered into his final year contract with Liverpool which runs out next summer in 2025. He is currently the highest-paid player at Anfield earning more than £350,000 per week. In the past few seasons, Mohamed Salah has been approached with substantial offers from the Middle East but the attacker remains focused on Liverpool rejecting the deals.
