Mohamed Salah to leave Liverpool ‘sooner’, his next move is already sorted
Mohamed Salah has been tipped to complete a Liverpool exit sometime in the near future with his next move already sorted.
Salah has faced criticism for his performances in recent times, with some suggesting that his level is dropping off.
The 33-year-old has been at Anfield since the summer of 2017, winning two Premier League titles and a Champions League in his time at the club.
However, there are now rumours swirling that Salah could be set to leave Liverpool and bring his successful spell on Merseyside to an end.
Mohamed Salah to seal Liverpool exit in favour of £150m deal
With his Liverpool future in doubt, Salah has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League that would reportedly earn him £150million per year.
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes that the winger could earn even more than that figure, due to all the sponsorship opportunities in the Middle East.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness insisted that Salah is likely to leave Liverpool sooner rather than later.
Wyness added that the Egyptian international has an open offer to move to Saudi whenever he wants.
He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “It’s definitely that sort of £150m level, if not more, because he’s going to be doing a lot of ads.
“I think Salah is such an important figure throughout the whole Middle East, not only in Egypt and Saudi, but he would be a dramatic figure for them. He’s so well thought of; he’s a very powerful figure commercially.
“As a tourist ambassador as well as other things, he would certainly be commanding £150m if not more. When I’ve been in Saudi Arabia, the way that Salah is revered is incredible. It’s even more so in Egypt, when I’ve seen that as well. So, he has that opportunity.
“They’ve left the offer open but he’ll have to go fairly soon because it’s best to go when you’re at the top. They might be thinking okay, it’s time to make a move while we’ve still got some good years in our legs and show some spectacular things.
“Ronaldo has knocked in some amazing numbers since he’s been in Saudi and he’s still banging goals in and some really quality goals as well. I think Salah wants to do the same, have some good years down there, so I would expect the move sooner than later.”
