A pundit claims heâs âhearingâ Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is âdefinitely goingâ to leave the Premier League giants next year when his contract expires.
Salah is in the final year of his contract as his current deal expires at the end of this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are in the same boat so their futures are also in doubt.
The Egypt international has made a great start to the season as heâs grabbed four goals and four assists in his seven appearances for Liverpool across all competitions.
After Liverpoolâs 3-0 win against Manchester United last month, Salah intimated that he is yet to begin talks with club chiefs over a contract extension.
It has been reported that he would prefer to stick with Liverpool, but it remains to be seen whether he will pen a contract extension.
In recent windows, Salah has been heavily linked with the Saudi Pro League and Al-Ittihad reportedly failed with a ÂŁ150m bid during the 2023 summer transfer window.

Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor of all people claims he has inside information about Salah, who is supposedly âdefinitely goingâ to leave Liverpool.
âI know Salahâs going. Iâve got a source that told me Salahâs definitely going,â Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT.
Presenter Alan Brazil then asked where Salah is going next. To which, Agbonlahor responded: âSaudi, on a record contract.
âIâm hearing that he will earn more than [Cristiano] Ronaldo, heâll be the face of the football over there. You canât turn that down if youâre Mo Salah. Heâs done everything at Liverpool hasnât he?â

Mark Lawrenson meanwhile reckons Alexander-Arnold is going to leave Liverpool as he will be âattracted to playing at Real Madridâ.
âI think Trent Alexander-Arnold is most definitely up there with the best Premier League right backs of all time when heâs in full flow,â Lawrenson said.
âI donât think Iâve ever seen a better right back in terms of delivering the ball to players. He probably isnât among the best defenders in the world, but it doesnât really matter because he just sees passes that other players canât â that ball into Mohamed Salah in the first game of the season against Ipswich was unbelievable.
âHowever, I donât think Trent will be at the club at the start of next season â I can see him being attracted to playing at Real Madrid.
âHe has an England teammate in Jude Bellingham there and I can see him playing for them next season. If you really wanted to stay at Liverpool, then would you not have signed your contract by now?
âI think that goes for all three of Liverpoolâs players who are out of contract next summer â Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah too.
âTheyâre just waiting to see what will happen, but for me, Trent probably wants to go and play somewhere on the continent. I donât think heâll turn down the opportunity to play for Real Madrid.â
