Mohamed Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa refuted rumors of a departure on social media in an odd and infrequent

tweet that might have hinted at Salah’s future at Liverpool.

Salah has officially entered the final 18 months of his Liverpool contract with his departure for the Africa Cup of

Nations, and as a result, rumors have started.

With 18 goals and nine assists in 27 games so far this season, the 31-year-old is once again in peak form, sparking

calls for a contract extension.

The possibility of Saudi Arabian interest has always existed, but as Jordan Henderson’s decision to reverse course

and travel to the Middle East, which was innovative rather than motivated by money, demonstrates, the Saudi Pro

League’s allure is not as great as it first appears.

Salah is an obviously extremely ambitious player, and with Liverpool competing this season on four fronts, it seems

likely that Merseyside is the perfect place for him to spend his future.

His agency might concur, as Abbas refuted the idea that Salah is “open to leaving” on Monday by citing an old tweet

from “journalist” Santi Aouna.

In March, the anonymous account, claiming to provide unique content for the French publication Foot Mercato,

asserted that “in the event of departure, Salah favours Spain.”

Four words—”You just don’t know”—are Abbas’s response ten months later.

Abbas’ response seems obvious considering that the assertion was made in early 2023, with reference to last

summer, and that it has now been proven to be untrue.

Although Salah’s decision to forego a move to Saudi Arabia prior to the September transfer deadline was widely

publicized, there was less hard evidence to support his choice to Spain.

Though there is increasing speculation that Liverpool’s No. 11 may eventually sign a new contract with the team,

Abbas’ post may have been sent at a telling moment.

Liverpool will speak with Salah and his agent in the upcoming months to find out their position about his future, as

his current deal expires in 2025.

In order to preserve any resale value and prevent the possibility of a free transfer, the club would probably need to

sell Salah in the summer.

But few teams in international football could give the Egyptian, one of the best players in the world, what he

deserves, as Saudi Arabia is no longer as alluring as it once appeared to be.

Furthermore, very few could provide Salah with the kind of success and competition that Liverpool, under Jurgen

Klopp, can give.

Could Abbas’ update be a subliminal hint that talks are about to start regarding a new contract?
