Mohamed Salah: Why Liverpool Are Better Off Letting Egyptian Move to Saudi

• Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah faces an uncertain future at Liverpool
• The Egyptian star has been strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia
• His recent spat with Jurgen Klopp cast further doubt on his future at Anfield

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to lose Mohamed Salah to the Saudi Pro League, as several clubs from the Middle East are reportedly readying massive bids for the superstar.

The Saudi Pro League has identified Salah as the next marquee signing, and it is believed bids for the Egyptian could rise to a whopping £200million.

Salah made headlines over the weekend for all the wrong reasons, after a touchline spat with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp went viral on social media.

Since then, rumours that the forward could be heading for the Liverpool exit door have intensified.

While Klopp played down the incident, Salah only added fuel to the flames, saying “There is going to be fire if I speak.”

The Egyptian has seemingly fallen out of favour under Klopp in recent weeks, with the German consistently starting his key man on the bench.

This was the case on Saturday, as Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw against West Ham.

Should Liverpool let Salah go?

With his contract expiring in the summer of 2025, Liverpool will have to be decisive when it comes to deciding Salah’s future.

According to Football Insider, the Reds are now more open to letting their superstar leave for a hefty price because of the current contract situation.

Another huge motivator for Liverpool is the fact that Salah, who was handed the biggest contract in Liverpool history less than two years ago, is not as integral in the team’s success as he was a couple of seasons ago.

According to The Mirror, Salah has 17 goals in 25 league games this season, which is not bad for an average player.

But for a player of Salah’s stature, considering that only 11 goals have been from open play, there are many questions about whether it is worth keeping him at Anfield on a fat contract, especially with a mega-bid from Saudi Arabia on the cards.

Furthermore, cashing in on Salah could offer Liverpool the much-needed resources to strengthen the squad for the post-Klopp era.
