Mohamed Salah continues to be the talk of Anfield despite the Liverpool star regaining his footing under Arne Slot.

The Egyptian star netted his first Premier League goal since November against Wolves on Tuesday, 3 March, taking his tally up to eight goals and eight assists in all competitions.

Football Insider revealed last month that the Reds are open to Salah leaving once the summer transfer window rolls around, and teams across the world are keeping tabs on the situation.

It would bring an end to Salah’s nine-year-long stay at Anfield, having arrived from Roma in 2017, and Liverpool are beginning to target replacements for his impending departure.

Mohamed Salah could stay at Liverpool next season

Salah’s current deal at Anfield runs until the end of the 2026-27 campaign, meaning the superstar winger still has over a year remaining on his contract.

Nonetheless, clubs from all around the world are eyeing up a deal for the 33-year-old, with Liverpool really only having one more opportunity to get a high price for his exit.

Saudi Arabia appears to be calling Salah’s name, having been linked with the player for several transfer windows now, but staying at Anfield could also be a possibility for him.

In fact, Liverpool are currently the favourites at evens to have Salah on the books come the beginning of the 2026-27 campaign, with any MLS club following shortly behind at 6/4.

Arne Slot is under ever-growing pressure at Anfield, which could play a huge role in the club’s summer plans, but for now, it seems Salah might have one more season left in him.

Liverpool may have already identified Salah’s replacement

With Salah now 33 years of age, the sensible thing to do would be to find the superstar’s successor.

Speaking to Football Insider, Keith Wyness believes that Liverpool want Rio Ngumoha to be his long-term replacement, having impressed the hierarchy at Anfield.

Of course, Salah will be leaving huge shoes to fill on Merseyside. He currently has 253 goals in 431 appearances, and while he is having an off-season, those numbers will increase.

Slot has only given Ngumoha very limited chances this season, but at just 17 years old, there is a bright future ahead for the teenager.
