Salah’s Liverpool career could be over after a major revelation from a top Saudi official.
Mohamed Salah’s relationship with Liverpool has reportedly reached breaking point following his fiery post-match interview on Saturday after the draw with Leeds United.
Frustrated after being benched for three straight matches, Salah publicly accused the club of abandoning him and suggested that someone within Liverpool no longer wants him there. He even hinted that the upcoming Brighton fixture might be his final outing for the Reds amid intensifying rumours of a January departure.
Liverpool reacted swiftly, excluding Salah from the squad travelling to Italy for the Champions League clash with Inter Milan. The move has only fuelled claims that the rift between the club and their star forward has become irreparable.
Saudi Pro League clubs ready to pounce
The uncertainty surrounding Salah has put several Saudi Pro League teams on alert. They have long targeted the Egyptian as the next marquee figure to lead the league following Cristiano Ronaldo.
Reports indicate that Al-Hilal, NEOM FC, and Al-Qadsiah are all keen on signing him. Back in 2023, Al-Ittihad tabled a massive £150 million offer that Liverpool rejected, but the situation appears different now.
Despite Salah signing a new two-year deal in April 2025, many believe Liverpool’s hierarchy — including Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes — extended his contract largely to protect his value before selling him.
Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel has openly confirmed Salah is among their desired signings, saying via Fabrizio Romano that the winger would be welcomed in the league and is considered a top target.
Has Salah already played his last game for Liverpool?
Salah has already revealed that he plans to “say goodbye” to supporters after the Brighton fixture, regardless of whether he features. He will then leave immediately for AFCON duty, potentially keeping him out for a month.
If Liverpool accept an offer from Saudi Arabia during his absence, it’s possible the 33-year-old may never wear the shirt again.
Unless tensions ease quickly, the end of Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool chapter appears imminent — and the curtain could fall much sooner than expected.
