At 32 years old, Mohamed Salah has dedicated much of his career to Liverpool.
Now in his eighth year at Anfield, and with Arne Slot as the new manager following Jurgen Klopp’s departure, the Egyptian winger continues to deliver impressive performances. Thanks to Salah’s contributions, Liverpool is currently leading the Premier League after eight matches and has secured 10 victories in their first 11 games of the 2024/25 season across all competitions.
Despite speculation about a move during the summer of 2023, Salah has maintained his scoring prowess, consistently netting around or above 20 goals in Premier League seasons.
However, his future at Liverpool might be uncertain. This article outlines the latest developments regarding Salah’s situation.
Is Mohamed Salah set to leave Liverpool in 2025?
Salah may depart Liverpool in the summer of 2025 when his current contract expires in June. Ongoing talks about an extension have stalled.
In 2023, Liverpool dismissed a £150 million ($194 million) offer from Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad, which may prompt similar offers in the future. Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain has expressed interest in the player.
If a new deal isn’t agreed upon, Salah could leave for free. Starting January 2025, he will have the ability to negotiate with clubs outside the Premier League about a summer transfer.
The 32-year-old could command a lucrative salary if he joins a Saudi club or PSG.

Updates on Mohamed Salah’s contract negotiations
Reports from Football Insider indicate that Salah is open to discussing a new contract that extends until June 2027, demanding substantial compensation. He aims to solidify his legendary status at the club by setting new records for goals and assists.
However, Liverpool’s willingness to keep him past the age of 35, especially if his salary demands are high, remains uncertain.
Manager Slot has refrained from commenting on Salah’s future or on negotiations involving players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, who have also been linked with exits. The lack of progress in these discussions may be a source of concern for him.
Before the recent international break, Slot noted the repetitiveness of questions around one-to-one discussions, suggesting fans could inquire again after the break.
Salah’s salary and net worth
In September 2023, The Guardian reported that Salah is earning around £1 million ($1.3 million) weekly. This figure includes endorsements and image rights, not solely his Liverpool salary.
His contract from July 2022 reportedly stipulates earnings between £350,000 and £400,000 ($454,000-$520,000), placing him as Liverpool’s highest earner. Should Salah seek a new deal at the same or higher rate, it would require significant financial consideration from the club.
Timeline of Mohamed Salah’s transfer to Liverpool
Joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017 after a successful tenure in Serie A with Roma, Salah began his career with Al Mokawloon before making his mark in Europe with Basel. His previous stint at Chelsea is now a distant memory.
Liverpool acquired Salah for an initial fee of £36.5 million, which was a record at that time but is now regarded as one of the best signings in Premier League history.
