    Salah will be around for a while. I even doubt if he’d want to go to the Saudi league. He lives for big games and breaking records, and he’d want to do that for as long as he can.

      He was our only player to issue a statement after our failure in qualifying for the UCL last season. I honestly believe he’d have departed then, in pursuit of top flight European football elsewhere, if any immediate intentions existed. Saudi is a retirement league for great players to rest their laurels, I think Salah has ambition & respect beyond money at Liverpool. Even in his late 30s, I think the Saudi fund would shill out immense wages for the most iconic Arab-speaking Islamic footballer in many years, quality has no bearing on it. He can depart whenever.

    Liverpool are on an absolute winner here.

    Soon as he loses his pace or gets on a bit they’ll get £££ and be able to reinvest it.

    Liverpool have done very well out of Saudi prominence in football

      Possibly. Either that or he leaves at the end of the season on a free. I’d love an extension but it feels as if he either leaves at the end of this season or leaves on a free after the next

      I feel like he’s already lost his pace a bit (still fast as shit though), but has adapted beautifully to become an insane playmaker. He’s our most creative player imo.

    While Saudi is a Muslim country, no reasonable man would choose to bring up their young daughter in such an environment.

    He’s still too good to go to a retirement league. Although he plays for one of our rivals, I’d prefer it if he stayed in the PL. Proper genius.

    Salah could win Balondor and I’d still call him underrated. And that really hurts to say as a united fan

    Serious question since I’m a new guy who started to love football, if he ends his career in liverpool, will he be considered one of the greats in the club?

    I don’t even think he ever wanted to go. His agent denied it and he never spoke about it. To me it seemed like it was a bunch of BS from the Saudi side. I think he loves it here and wants to retire here.

    Saudi money doesn’t turn you into a household name and doesn’t give you a legacy or prestigious trophies.

    It gives you lots of money at the cost of most people’s respect.

      Meh I wouldn’t say most peoples really, I think most football fans over say 25 would appreciate the reasons for the move. I love seeing players turn down the money to play in top leagues instead as much as the next guy but it’s a career at the end of the day and a short one at that.
