The future of Anfield’s “Egyptian King” has reached a critical boiling point. According to latest reports, Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is set for a face-to-face showdown with Mohamed Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, while the forward is away on international duty.
This Mohamed Salah Liverpool transfer news comes at a turbulent time for the club. Despite Salah recently signing a contract extension through 2027, a public fallout with management and the lure of the Saudi Pro League have reignited rumors of a permanent summer exit.
The “Showdown” Talks: Why Now?
While Salah is currently leading the Pharaohs at AFCON 2025 in Morocco, his representative is reportedly in England to address the growing friction between the player and the club. The tension stems from a dramatic December that saw Salah benched for several high-profile matches under manager Arne Slot.
Timeline of the Tension:
Early December: Salah lashes out after a 3-3 draw with Leeds, claiming he felt “thrown under the bus” by the club’s hierarchy.
Mid-December: Salah is omitted from the Champions League squad against Inter Milan.
Late December: The forward returns as a substitute against Brighton, providing a vital assist for Hugo Ekitike, before jetting off to AFCON.
The upcoming meeting is expected to determine whether Salah will see out his contract or if the club will facilitate a massive summer 2026 transfer.
The Saudi Pro League: A Guaranteed Destination?
Senior figures within the Saudi Pro League are reportedly “absolutely convinced” that Salah will join the division in 2026. While a January move is unlikely due to Liverpool’s current injury crisis specifically the long-term ankle injury to Alexander Isak the summer remains wide open.
