The New York Times • March 25, 2026 • sports

Key Points:

Mohamed Salah's future beyond Liverpool remains uncertain, with his representative confirming that even Salah himself does not yet know where he will play next season.
Despite a record-breaking 2024-25 season and a new two-year contract, signs indicate that Salah's peak performance is declining as he ages.
The Saudi Pro League is a likely destination, with clubs like Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, Al Qadsiah, and NEOM showing interest, leveraging financial strength and recent high-profile signings.
Salah's potential move to Saudi Arabia offers commercial benefits and aligns with his status as a sporting icon in the region, though geopolitical complexities may influence negotiations.
Liverpool remains focused on Salah's contributions this season as they compete in the FA Cup and Champions League quarter-finals.
