Former Aston Villa striker and pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor has indicated that Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is likely to leave the club. Salah, along with other key players like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is in the final year of his contract, creating uncertainty about their futures.
Agbonlahor claims Salah has decided to move, with Saudi Arabia as his probable destination. He suggests Salah could secure a lucrative deal surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s earnings, making him a prominent figure in Middle Eastern football.
On talkSPORT, Agbonlahor told Alan Brazil he is confident Salah will join the Saudi Pro League by season’s end. He stated, “I know Salah’s going. I’ve got a source that told me Salah’s definitely going.” When asked for specifics, he affirmed, “Saudi, on a record contract. He’ll earn more than Ronaldo and be the face of football there. You can’t turn that down if you’re Mo Salah. He’s done everything at Liverpool, hasn’t he?”
Despite Agbonlahor’s assertions, Salah’s future remains unconfirmed. Liverpool could offer him a new contract before January, when he can negotiate with other clubs.
To retain Salah, Liverpool must address his contract situation swiftly to avoid losing him for free. Salah has been a key player this season, scoring four goals, and has been vital under manager Arne Slot. While a move to Saudi Arabia might seem early in his career, Salah still excels in European football, making an extension at Anfield beneficial for both him and the club.
