Liverpool, United Kingdom — Mohamed Salah scored in Liverpool’s 6-0 Champions League victory over Qarabag on Wednesday, ending a personal goal drought and advancing the club to the UEFA Champions League last 16, but the Egyptian forward’s future at Anfield remains a subject of intense speculation among clubs and pundits.
Salah’s goal — his first in several matches after a lengthy run without scoring — provided a timely boost to Liverpool’s European campaign, where they topped their group to secure direct progression to the knockout stages. Manager Arne Slot’s side delivered a dominant performance at Anfield, with multiple scorers contributing to the comprehensive win.
The 33-year-old, one of Liverpool’s most prolific scorers since his 2017 arrival, has recently navigated a turbulent period marked by public comments about his relationship with Slot and mixed playing time. Earlier this season, Salah said he felt “thrown under the bus” by the club, remarks that led to his omission from selection and sparked internal discussions before his return to the squad. Teammate Curtis Jones later confirmed Salah apologised to the dressing room for any disruption caused by his comments, and players affirmed unity within the squad.
Off the pitch, multiple reports indicate that Salah is attracting serious transfer interest from the Saudi Pro League, which is targeting him alongside other high-profile European stars as part of a broader recruitment push. Clubs such as Al Hilal, NEOM FC and Al Qadsiah have been mentioned as possible suitors, although Liverpool officials have signalled a desire to retain experienced attacking talent through at least the current season.
Salah also enjoyed success with Egypt at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations earlier this month, scoring and assisting as the national team reached the semifinals before exiting the tournament.
Liverpool’s domestic form remains inconsistent, leaving supporters to weigh the significance of European progress against Premier League challenges. The club is now preparing for the Champions League last-16 draw on Feb. 27 and crucial league fixtures ahead. The story is developing.
