Salah staying at Liverpool FC this summer

April 29, 2024Ligue 1

Mohamed Salah is reportedly expected to stay at Liverpool as they plan for the Egypt international to be part of their plans next season under new manager Arne Slot.

Although things have not gone well for the 31-year-old recently, he remains a world class talent and it seems the Reds are keen to keep him around for a bit longer, according to The Athletic.

Salah no longer looks to be at the very peak of his powers, but it seems he’s happy at the club and they are happy with him, despite a surprisingly public touch-line row with current manager Jurgen Klopp during the 2-2 draw with West Ham United at the weekend.

Klopp will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season anyway, with The Athletic noting that the club are finalising a deal to appoint Feyenoord boss Slot as the German’s replacement.

Mohamed Salah looks set to stay at Liverpool

Many Liverpool fans will surely be relieved that their hero is not leaving, in what would’ve been an extra bit of drama for the new manager and board to deal with in what is likely to be a testing transitional period at Anfield.

Klopp’s departure will surely be difficult enough as it is, so to lose a long-serving, experienced big name like Salah would have been another blow and a complication that Slot could really do without as he takes on such a high-pressure job.
