Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool : Gabriel Agbonlahor, former Aston Villa striker, has revealed that Mohamed Salah is set to leave Liverpool for a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League (SPL) next summer.
Agbonlahor, speaking on talkSPORT, stated he has insider information confirming that Salah will sign a record-breaking contract in Saudi Arabia, which could make him the highest-paid footballer in the world, surpassing even Cristiano Ronaldo’s earnings.
Mohamed Salah Contract Situation
For over a year, Mohamed Salah has been linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League. In the last summer transfer window, Liverpool reportedly rejected a staggering £100 million offer for the Egyptian star.
However, the club now faces the challenge of Salah’s contract running down, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season. Alongside Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also nearing the end of their contracts, putting Liverpool in a precarious situation.

Agbonlahor’s Inside Scoop on Salah’s Move
According to Agbonlahor, his sources indicate that Salah is almost certain to make the switch to Saudi Arabia. He said, “I know Salah’s going. I’ve got a source that told me Salah’s definitely going. Saudi, on a record contract. I’m hearing that he will earn more than Ronaldo; he’ll be the face of the football over there. You can’t turn that down if you’re Mohamed Salah.” Agbonlahor believes that Salah’s decision to move is driven by the opportunity to become the face of football in Saudi Arabia, an offer that’s simply too good to refuse.
Why Liverpool Could Lose Mohamed Salah
The fact that Liverpool has managed to retain Salah for the past two summers speaks volumes about the club’s desire to keep him, but the reality is that they might not be able to extend his contract any longer. Agbonlahor pointed out that Salah would have likely renewed his contract by now if he intended to stay. This situation puts pressure on Liverpool, as they risk losing one of their star players on a free transfer if they can’t reach an agreement soon.
Salah’s Own Words on His Future
When asked about his future by Sky Sports after his standout performance against Manchester United, Mohamed Salah acknowledged the uncertainty, saying, “You know this is my last year in the club. I just want to enjoy it. It’s not up to me, but no one has spoken to me at the club.” This statement has only fueled the rumors of his departure, indicating that Salah might be preparing for his final season in a Liverpool jersey.
If Salah leaves Liverpool, it will mark the end of an era for the club. Since joining from AS Roma in 2017, Salah has been a driving force behind Liverpool’s success, leading them to victories in the Premier League, Champions League, and other major trophies. His potential move to the Saudi Pro League would represent a significant shift in global football, as the SPL continues to attract world-class talent.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Mohamed Salah and his decision regarding his future. If the deal materializes, Salah could become the face of Saudi football, following in the footsteps of high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. For now, Liverpool fans are left to wonder if they will witness one final season of brilliance from their Egyptian superstar.
