Speculation continues to surround the futures of Liverpool stars past and present - including Mohamed Salah - just days before the transfer window shuts until the summer

Liverpool are staring an unwanted truth directly in the face. Mohamed Salah will leave the club on July 1, 2025, if nothing is done to remedy his contract situation and the Saudi Pro League certainly hope the saga unravels that way.

Liverpool should see the 24-year-old winger as their number one option to replace Salah. With the Reds, Rodrygo could continue to blossom into his prime years and become a core piece for the foreseeable future.

Liverpool face new pressure to tie down Mohamed Salah as Al Hilal reportedly target the Egyptian following Neymar's departure. The 32-year-old is into the final few months of his contract at Anfield with the threat that the Reds could lose their record-breaking attacker.
