Questions around the future of Mohamed Salah persist for Liverpool fans with the Egypt star out of contract at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The Reds' attacking star has long been linked with a possible move to the Saudi Pro League as a potential alternative to extending his Anfield career beyond the current campaign.
As the situation develops on Merseyside, Salah effectively faces two choices: sign a renewal at Liverpool or opt for a fresh challenge, most likely away from the Premier League in 2025.
Reds boss Arne Slot has been firm on his desire to keep Salah at the club but the final decision will come down to a financial decision made by the ownership.

Mohamed Salah Liverpool contract, wages, salary
Salah signed a contract extension at Liverpool ahead of the 2022/23 season following prolonged talks with the club.
As per The Guardian, Salah's representatives reached a compromise after a protracted negotiation, which saw him become the highest-paid player in the club's history, with substantial goal and assist bonuses included.

Salah's previous £200,000 (€231,000/$240,000) weekly wage increased to just over £350,000 (€404,000/$424,000), according to Spotrac, with Kevin De Bruyne and Cristiano Ronaldo the only players breaking the £400,000-per-week mark in the Premier League at that time.
It means Salah's salary is roughly £18.2m / $22.9m. Of course, that figure would likely be dwarfed by any contract on offer in the Saudi Pro League — indeed, The Mirror claimed Salah would earn more than nine times his Liverpool wage at Al Ittihad.

With Reds fans waiting patiently for updates on Salah's extension talks, the player himself offered a bold update on November 24, after scoring two late goals in the 3-2 Premier League win at Southampton.
Despite widespread rumours of the club working on renewal offers for Salah and fellow potential contract expirees Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, the former AS Roma attacker claimed no offer has been put forward.
"We are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club. I'm probably more out than in," he said.
"I'm not going to retire soon so I'm just playing, focusing on the season and I'm trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I'm disappointed, but we will see."
