Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah could snub a new contract at Anfield to pursue a move to La Liga, according to reports in Spain. Salah’s current deal expires in 2023, which could prompt the Reds to cash in on him at the end of the season if he desires a fresh challenge.
Over the past couple of months, Liverpool have extended a contingent of key players’ contracts.
Andy Robertson was the latest to commit his long-term future to the club, following Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho.
Salah, arguably the face of Jurgen Klopp’s history-making team, is yet to sign on the dotted line, though, with concerns over his status growing.
If recent reports from Spain are anything to go by, the Egyptian King could soon look to grace his third of Europe’s big five leagues.

Salah has flourished into a Premier League great since joining Liverpool in a £34million deal from AS Roma in 2017.
He has scored 132 goals and registered 44 assists in 207 appearances for the Reds, becoming a legend on Merseyside across the last four seasons.
Salah helped Liverpool to a sixth Champions League and was central in the club’s historic first Premier League win in 2019.
And he’s shown no signs of slowing down at the start of this season, scoring eight goals in eight games in all competitions.

The electric No 11 has been critical to Liverpool’s period of success in recent years, and Klopp will consider him irreplaceable.
FSG should welcome his demand for the club to press forward with contract talks because they won’t want to lose such an asset for free in 2023.
Salah has the making of a player conditioned like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, meaning he could have several years left at the top level.
After winning the two biggest honours possible at Liverpool, he may feel like 2023 should start a new chapter in his meteoric career.
