According to sources at FootballTransfers, Mohamed Salah is preparing to part ways with Liverpool during the summer transfer window of 2026.

The Egyptian superstar reportedly endured tense contract negotiations with Liverpool’s hierarchy at the end of the 2024/25 season, raising fears within the club that they might lose him on a free transfer. However, both sides ultimately reached an agreement: Salah signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at Anfield through the 2025/26 season, following what many consider one of the greatest individual campaigns in Premier League history.

During that spectacular season, Salah scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists, playing a pivotal role in delivering Liverpool’s long-awaited Premier League title under new manager Arne Slot. His performances earned widespread acclaim and cemented his status as one of the club’s all-time legends.

Saudi Pro League Reignite Interest

Now, with just one year remaining on his contract, Saudi Pro League clubs have once again set their sights on Salah. According to FootballTransfers, interest from the Gulf region is serious and sustained — with Salah reportedly open to accepting an offer to join the Saudi League in the summer of 2026.

In fact, Liverpool have already spent over €300 million in recent transfer windows, much of it aimed at preparing for life after Salah. The club appears ready to cash in before his contract expires, ensuring a substantial transfer fee for one of their most iconic players.

Salah Confirms Past Saudi Negotiations

Speaking to On Sport during Liverpool’s title celebrations in May, Salah acknowledged that talks with Saudi Pro League representatives had taken place:

“I think it was a good opportunity to join the Saudi League. If I hadn’t renewed with Liverpool, I might have gone there. My relationship with the people there is still strong and ongoing. There were serious negotiations to sign me,” Salah revealed.

“The fans also played a part in me staying. They put pressure on the club to keep me — I’ve been here for seven years, and from day one, I knew they wanted me to remain.”

A Legendary Exit on the Horizon?

Unless there is a dramatic twist, Mohamed Salah is expected to leave Liverpool in the summer of 2026 — not only as one of the greatest players in the club’s illustrious history but also ensuring that the Reds receive a significant transfer fee before his contract expires.

For Saudi Pro League clubs, signing Salah would represent a symbolic “superstar acquisition,” further bolstering the league’s status as a rising power in global football.

As the countdown begins, all eyes are now on Salah’s next move — and whether his final chapter at Liverpool will end with more silverware… before a new adventure begins in the Gulf.
