Mohamed Salah was one of those players everyone thought would stay at Liverpool until the end of his career, but circumstances have led to a tense situation within the club. The Liverpool forward cast doubt on his future at Anfield when he stopped in the mixed zone after his team's 3-3 draw with Leeds United and stated that the club was sidelining him.

Indeed, Liverpool has faced several setbacks in recent weeks, unexpectedly considering they were among the favorites in betting to contend for the Premier League title and other competitions at the start of the season. However, under Arne Slot, they have struggled to find their form and are far from the top spot.

Being left out of the starting lineup for several games has worn thin on the Egyptian's patience, leading him to seriously consider a change of scenery. Let's take a look at what his future might hold, or if he still has a chance to continue playing at Anfield.

Salah's Status

Salah has been pivotal to Liverpool's success over the past eight years, establishing himself as one of the world's best players. He finished fourth in the Ballon d'Or ceremony in September, having scored 34 goals and provided 23 assists across all competitions in the 2024-25 season.

However, there is now a real possibility that, after eight years at Liverpool where he won two Premier League titles, a Champions League, an FA Cup, a Carabao Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup, he might not play a full season with the club again.

The general perception is that Salah made his fiery comments because he truly wants to force his way out of the club or to pressure Slot, whose position was already in question due to Liverpool's poor results in defending the Premier League title.

Next Steps for Liverpool and Salah

Liverpool's stance is that they do not want to sell. Key figures at the club have stated that Salah is under contract until the summer of 2027 and that his recent absence from the starting lineup was merely a temporary measure.

They are puzzled by how quickly events have unfolded, but there is also a sense that the ball is in Salah's court, and he must communicate his intentions to the club. If he wants to leave, he needs to explain how that can happen, and then Liverpool can react accordingly.

However, it is also recognized that if Salah's stance remains inflexible and no solution is found, the situation will become untenable. Here are the options he has for an exit.

Saudi Arabia

If Salah departs Liverpool, his most likely suitors, as often happens with top players in the latter stages of their careers, might come from Saudi Arabia.

After all, this country has become home to Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, as well as Salah's former Liverpool teammates Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mané, and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Moreover, Al Ittihad, a team in the Saudi Professional League (SPL) owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), tested Liverpool's resolve back in 2023.

At that time, Al Ittihad was informed that Salah was not for sale, but while their attempt to sign him failed, it naturally helped foster a connection between the club and the player.

United States

Another possible destination for Salah could be Major League Soccer. A team that would be well-positioned to sign Salah if he opts for MLS is San Diego, given the connection between the player and the club's owner, British-Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Mansour, though that scenario seems unlikely at this point.

Another MLS team worth mentioning is Inter Miami. They just won the MLS Cup for the first time and boast a squad featuring Messi and Luis Suárez. However, they are currently not interested in signing Salah and are focusing on other targets.

Another option is Chicago Fire, which attempted to sign Salah before he penned his deal in April and remains keen on acquiring a global star, having explored a potential deal with Brazilian forward Neymar before he ultimately decided to return to his hometown club, Santos. Owner Joe Mansueto was also interested in bringing in Kevin De Bruyne, with negotiations with the Belgian midfielder reaching an advanced stage, but he opted to join Napoli.
