The future of Liverpool's star forward Mohamed Salah has been plunged into significant uncertainty following a sensational and explosive interview given by the Egyptian international.
Contract Details and Transfer Implications
Salah's eye-watering contract, signed just eight months ago in April 2025, could now play a pivotal role in determining his next move. While official figures are undisclosed, it is widely reported that his deal includes a base wage of around £350,000 per week, with potential bonuses pushing that closer to £500,000 weekly.
This lucrative agreement, a two-year extension keeping him at Anfield until at least 2027, means only a select few clubs worldwide could afford to match his terms. This financial reality becomes central as speculation over a mid-season exit intensifies.
Salah's Explosive Comments and Broken Promises
The crisis erupted after Liverpool's dramatic draw with Leeds United on Saturday. In a frank interview, Salah expressed deep disappointment, suggesting the club had broken promises made to him during the summer.
"I am very disappointed," Salah stated. "I have done so much for this club over years, especially last season. It seems like the club has thrown me under the bus." He directly addressed his relationship with manager Arne Slot, revealing: "I used to have a good relationship with Slot. Now we don't have any relationship and I don't know why."
His frustration at being relegated to the bench was palpable. "The club promised me a lot in summer. Now I'm on bench, so I can say they haven't kept those promises," he added, implying a feeling of being unfairly scapegoated for the team's issues.
Saudi Interest and a Potential Anfield Farewell
Salah has long been a target for the wealthy Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ittihad previously showing strong interest. When questioned about renewed interest from the Middle East, he was evasive, saying: "Is there interest from Saudi Arabia? I don't want to answer that question because the club will take me in a different direction."
In a poignant move, the 33-year-old revealed he has invited his parents to attend Liverpool's upcoming match against Brighton. "I'm going to be at Anfield and say goodbye to the fans before the African Cup of Nations, because I don't know what is going to happen when I am there," he said, hinting a January departure could be on the cards.
The situation represents a dramatic and unexpected turn for a player who was in the form of his life last season and seemed settled after signing his new deal. With his colossal wages a major factor, the coming weeks will determine whether Salah's explosive comments signal the beginning of the end of his legendary Liverpool career or merely a turbulent patch in his relationship with the club's hierarchy.
