Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is reportedly ahead in the competition to acquire Mohamed Salah. The French club is preparing a significant signing attempt for the Egyptian superstar, but will Liverpool permit their star player to depart?
At 32 years old, Salah continues to impress under new manager Arne Slot, already registering five goals and five assists this season.
His outstanding performances have helped keep Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, and they have also begun their Champions League campaign successfully.
However, as Salah has just 10 months remaining on his contract, questions regarding his future are on the rise.
Future Options: PSG or Saudi Arabia for Salah
While there are clubs from Saudi Arabia showing interest and offering substantial amounts for Salah, it appears that PSG is his favored choice.
According to reports from The Sun, the Ligue 1 team is poised to propose a three-year contract, hoping to make him their next standout star following Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid.
PSG’s interest in Salah is sincere, yet Liverpool has already dismissed offers exceeding £100 million ($131 million), believing that Salah may extend his contract to remain at Anfield.
Officials at the club are of the opinion that the Egyptian still has much to contribute at a high level, and it is believed that Salah himself prefers to keep playing at the European level rather than move to the Saudi Pro League.

Is Salah the Solution?
PSG has netted 20 goals in their initial six Ligue 1 matches, indicating they are performing well domestically. However, they have stumbled in the Champions League, recently losing to Arsenal after a shaky victory over Girona. PSG hopes that Salah could be the key to unlock their potential in Europe, a stage where their talent has frequently underperformed.
For Liverpool supporters, the prospect of losing Salah would be hard to bear, given his pivotal role in crucial matches over the years. With PSG showing interest and no new contract signed, the situation becomes increasingly tense.
