- Mohamed Salah has sparked speculation about his future at Liverpool after revealing stalled contract renewal talks with PSG now circling
- Reports suggest PSG has shown interest in Salah, with discussions reportedly at an advanced stage, despite the Parisian club publicly denying negotiations
- PSG's potential need for offensive reinforcements makes him a prime target as he becomes free to negotiate with any team in January
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool is hanging by a thread, with the Egyptian superstar fueling speculation about an imminent exit himself.
Salah’s comments following Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City sent shockwaves through the football world. He hinted it might have been his last game against City in a Liverpool shirt, admitting that contract renewal talks had stalled.
The forward, who scored his 11th Premier League goal of the season in the match, described himself as “more out than in.”
The 32-year-old forward has been linked with a move away from Anfield for months, with the Saudi Pro League previously expressing interest in acquiring his services. Despite these earlier links, Salah’s next chapter might not be in the Middle East as reports from the French capital have suggested that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has emerged as a potential destination, with negotiations reportedly “quite advanced.”
However, PSG publicly denied these claims, stating there were no ongoing discussions to sign Salah. This wouldn’t be the first time the Parisian club has downplayed interest in a marquee player. Similar denials preceded the high-profile transfers of Neymar in 2017 and Lionel Messi in 2021, raising suspicions that PSG’s interest in Salah might be genuine.
A source close to Salah confirmed to L’Équipe that informal discussions had taken place between the player’s camp and PSG.
It is believed Salah’s contract situation is being closely monitored by the Qatar management, which holds significant influence over PSG’s operations.
While Salah’s current Liverpool contract runs until 2025, the forward will be free to negotiate with any club starting in January. If a move materialises, it could align with PSG coach Luis Enrique’s request for reinforcements in the January transfer window. Salah’s arrival would undoubtedly boost PSG’s offensive line.
PSG’s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the Qatari hierarchy have long admired Salah. Although the club’s recent strategy has emphasised signing younger players over established stars, Salah will certainly be an exception. His record as one of the Premier League’s most decisive players over the past five years shows his value in continental competitions and the global stage.
As January approaches, speculation will only intensify. Whether Salah remains a Liverpool icon or starts a new chapter in Paris, the Egyptian forward continues to be one of the most coveted players in world football.
