Liverpool forward’s future uncertain amid PSG transfer rumours | OneFootball

Salah’s Future Uncertain as PSG Links Intensify

Liverpool’s Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain was a brutal blow, but for Mohamed Salah, the disappointment seemed to run deeper. The Egyptian forward was left in tears on the Anfield pitch, a moment that has only fuelled speculation that his time at Liverpool is coming to an end. According to Fichajes, Salah has already decided on his next move, with PSG emerging as his likely destination.

PSG’s Pursuit of Salah Gains Momentum

Salah’s contract at Liverpool expires on June 30, and despite the club’s efforts to secure an extension, an agreement has yet to be reached. Reports from Spain suggest that Liverpool have ‘failed to convince’ the forward to commit his future to Anfield and that ‘his next destination is already agreed.’

The claims indicate that PSG, who have been tracking Salah’s situation closely, have persuaded him to join their ‘star project’ in Ligue 1. Salah would fit seamlessly into their plans. The report adds:

If true, Liverpool fans could be watching the final months of one of the club’s greatest-ever forwards. Salah’s impact at Anfield has been immense, but with no contract agreement in sight, the door is open for him to walk away for nothing.

Emotional Farewell or Frustration at Defeat?

Salah’s visible distress after the penalty shootout defeat against PSG has only heightened the sense that this could be a farewell tour. He converted his penalty in the shootout, but Liverpool fell short as Gianluigi Donnarumma denied both Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones.

His words to TNT Sports earlier this month now carry more weight:

When asked about his contract situation, Salah was direct:

Liverpool manager Arne Slot, however, dismissed the contract speculation when asked post-match:

PSG’s Luis Enrique Praises Liverpool

Despite Salah’s uncertain future, PSG coach Luis Enrique was quick to offer words of respect for Liverpool following his side’s triumph:

Enrique’s side may have progressed, but even he acknowledged the fine margins that decided the tie. While PSG march on in the Champions League, Liverpool must now refocus on domestic success—and figure out how to handle the growing speculation surrounding their star forward.

Our View – Anfield Index Analysis

For Liverpool fans, the thought of Salah leaving is a difficult one to digest. This isn’t just any player—this is the man who has defined an era, broken records, and been at the heart of every major success in recent years.

The idea of him joining PSG is particularly concerning. While Ligue 1 does not offer the same intensity as the Premier League, a move to a Champions League rival would be painful. Losing Salah on a free transfer would feel like a huge misstep from the club’s hierarchy.

There is still time to turn this around. If Liverpool are serious about keeping Salah, they need to present a contract offer that reflects his value—not just financially, but in terms of the role he plays in the team’s future. Slot’s system will evolve, but a player of Salah’s quality is not easily replaced.

If Salah does go, Liverpool must act decisively in the transfer market. The attack will need reinforcements, and replacing a player of his stature will not be straightforward.

For now, all Liverpool supporters can do is wait and hope that one of the club’s greatest-ever players is not about to walk away.
