Mohamed Salah’s Agent Denies Exit Rumors, Hints at Liverpool Future
Mohamed Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, recently took to social media to dismiss claims about the player’s potential departure and dropped a hint about his future at Liverpool. With Salah now in the final 18 months of his contract and speculation surrounding his future, Abbas’ post comes as a curious and rare move.
Salah has been in exceptional form this season, with 18 goals and nine assists in 27 games. This has led to calls for a contract extension to secure his services for the long term. While there has been interest from Saudi Arabia, as seen with Jordan Henderson’s decision to stay at Liverpool, it is clear that the lure of the Saudi Pro League may not be as appealing as it seems.
Salah is an ambitious player, and with Liverpool competing on multiple fronts this season, it is likely that his future lies at Anfield. His agent seems to agree, as Abbas referenced an old tweet disputing claims that Salah is open to leaving. The tweet, from a faceless account claiming to provide exclusives for French outlet Foot Mercato, suggested that Salah would prefer a move to Spain. However, Abbas’ response of “You just don’t know” indicates that the claim was false.
Salah did not pursue a move to Saudi Arabia before the transfer deadline in September, and there has been little concrete speculation about a switch to Spain. The timing of Abbas’ tweet could be significant, suggesting that there is a growing possibility of Salah signing a new deal with Liverpool.
With Salah’s current contract set to expire in 2025, Liverpool will soon engage in discussions with the player and his representative to understand their stance on his future. If Salah were to leave, the club would likely need to sell him in the summer to maintain his resale value and avoid losing him on a free transfer.
However, with Saudi Arabia losing its appeal and few clubs capable of offering Salah the level of competition and success that Liverpool can under Jurgen Klopp, it seems likely that negotiations for a new contract will take place. Abbas’ update may serve as a subtle hint as talks begin.
