Liverpool are standing firm on their stance regarding Mohamed Salah’s future, with new reports suggesting the club still expect the Egyptian star to remain at Anfield until his deal expires in 2027.
According to The Athletic, the club’s hierarchy has no plans to push Salah out, nor are they preparing for a future without him. Despite the recent shock of leaving the 33-year-old out of the Champions League squad for the upcoming Inter Milan clash, insiders maintain the decision was not a punishment and should not be interpreted as a sign of deeper fallout.
Behind the scenes, Liverpool still believe the current tension surrounding Salah is a temporary situation that can be resolved with time. The club is not exploring January replacements, and there is zero intention of dipping into the market to find an alternative attacker.
Salah, who signed a lucrative two-year contract extension eight months ago—the deal that made him the highest-paid player in the club’s history—remains central to Arne Slot’s long-term plans.
The Reds are hopeful that the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations will provide a natural cooling-off period, giving everyone involved the chance to reset and calm the atmosphere before Salah returns for the second half of the season.
His incredible output from last season, where he delivered 34 goals and 23 assists while leading Liverpool to the Premier League title, is still viewed as the standard he can reach again.
In short:
👉 Liverpool want Salah to stay
👉 They expect him to honor the full contract
👉 They believe the current drama can still be fixed
👉 No replacement search is underway
