Jurgen Klopp might not be the only loss for Liverpool at the end of the season. Mohamed Salah is also expected to pack his bags and leave Anfield unless a cataclysm occurs. In any case, Mark Lawrenson has asserted that it’s a done deal, 100%.
Mark Lawrenson, a former Liverpool player who rose to prominence between 1981 and 1988 (scoring 14 goals in 336 official matches), stated on Friday that he had no doubt Mohamed Salah would leave Liverpool.
The Egyptian forward still has a year left on his contract with the Reds, but according to the former English international, he will depart for Saudi Arabia at the end of this season. “Salah will definitely leave this summer, 100%. Whatever happens this season. I think there was an agreement last summer. He will go somewhere like Saudi Arabia, and I hope Liverpool will receive a hefty sum of money,” he said.

“Salah will become a king in Saudi Arabia! He could have left last summer. He could have walked into Jurgen Klopp’s office and said ‘I want to leave,’ but he didn’t do anything like that,” he added, as quoted by Goal.
Barcelona and PSG are also monitoring Salah
Kylian Mbappé has announced his departure from PSG, and the French capital club has begun targeting potential replacements. According to the French press, Mohamed Salah’s name is consistently mentioned, but the deal remains quite complex. After Al Ittihad and PSG, FC Barcelona is also interested in the Pharaohs’ star. Indeed, the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” revealed a surprise regarding Barcelona’s desire to sign the Egyptian international Mohamed Salah during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Mohamed Salah’s contract with Liverpool is set to expire in 2025, with much speculation about the Egyptian star’s future. But according to the Catalan media, Barcelona is interested in signing Mohamed Salah in the near future, despite the difficulty of the deal.

Joan Laporta’s club has reportedly drawn up a list of several players they wish to include to build a strong team, with Salah’s name at the top. Barcelona needs to include a winger to bolster the team, and Mohamed Salah would be suitable for the job as he can play on both the right and left wings. Despite Barcelona’s interest, there are reports indicating that the idea of including Mohamed Salah seems very difficult due to the financial crisis at the Catalan club and the willingness of other clubs to pay hefty sums of money to secure his services.
The British newspaper “The Athletic” reported that the Jeddah club was about to increase its offer to Liverpool for the signing of Mohamed Salah to €235 million, making him the most expensive player in football history. To be continued.
