Liverpool transfer news - Latest Mohamed Salah contract update
The latest Liverpool transfer news and Mohamed Salah contract update is that Salah’s contract expires in the summer of 2025, and he will be free to talk to foreign clubs in January. This situation raises concerns for Liverpool, as they risk losing their star player.
Salah has been incredible this season. He has been involved in 30 of Liverpool’s 45 Premier League goals. He has scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists in the league, leading both categories.
Across all competitions in 2024, Salah has scored 29 goals and delivered 23 assists in 44 matches. No player in Europe’s top five leagues has better numbers.

Salah has joined Luis Suarez in reaching 30 goal involvements in fewer than 20 Premier League appearances. Suarez achieved this in the 2013-14 season.
Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo have also been reliable this season. Diaz has scored 12 goals, while Gakpo has netted 11 across all competitions.
However, Salah remains the most important player for Liverpool. His performances often decide matches, and his consistency is unmatched.
Failing to secure a new deal for Salah would be a massive mistake by Liverpool. While the club may have concerns about his age, Salah has shown remarkable fitness and dedication to his craft.
Liverpool must act quickly to ensure Salah stays at Anfield. His contributions are crucial for their success, and losing him would leave a significant gap in the squad.
