Mo Salah’s future with Liverpool is uncertain as he enters the final year of his contract. There has been minimal progress on negotiating a new agreement, which means the 32-year-old might leave Anfield on a free transfer next summer. Last year, Liverpool turned down a substantial £150 million bid from Saudi Pro League team Al Ittihad for Salah.
Regarding his future, Salah told Sky Sports News: “Before the season started, I thought, ‘I’ve got one year left, so let’s enjoy it and not worry about the contract now.’ I’m not thinking about anything else; I’m just enjoying the present. I prefer not to focus on next year or the future—just making the most of this final year of my contract and seeing how things unfold. The key is to take each day as it comes and appreciate being here.”
Focused on his performance rather than speculation, Salah has made a strong start to the 2024-25 Premier League season. He scored in both of Liverpool’s matches so far, 2-0 victories against Ipswich Town and Brentford. After scoring, Salah introduced a new archery-inspired celebration, which intrigued fans. He revealed to Men in Blazers, “I was watching the UFC fight between Pereira and Israel Adesanya. When Adesanya won their second fight, he celebrated like that. I liked the celebration and decided to do it. Though I’m a UFC fan, some also connect it to the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, who depicted similar gestures in temples or pyramids.”
