Mohamed Salah has dropped his biggest hint yet that he could stay at Liverpool for another season after posting an update about the club’s ambitions to win trophies.
The Egyptian is amongst the names to follow departed manager Jurgen Klopp out the door following the culmination of the Premier League season.
Liverpool have confirmed Feyenoord chief Arne Slot will replace Klopp in the dugout and one urgent issue requires the Dutchman to address the future of several key players.
Salah has one year remaining on his existing £350,000-per-week deal that expires in June 2025 and Liverpool must decide whether to sell their star player or risk losing him for free next year.
Saudi Arabian teams were previously unsuccessful in their attempts to bring Salah to the Middle East last summer despite offering over £200m for the Premier League legend’s services.

Their interest in the 31-year-old is expected to resume once the transfer window opens, but Salah’s latest online post suggests he wants to remain at Anfield at least for another year.
Publishing an update to his near-20m followers on X, Salah stated: ‘We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season.
‘Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell,’ he further added as Liverpool ended the season with the Carabao Cup to show for their efforts.
The Reds will be back playing in the Champions League next season, a factor that could boost Slot’s negotiating strategy when trying to persuade high-profile players to stay at the club.
Salah is one of the biggest departure concerns for Liverpool to contend with following another season where he dominated the club’s goalscoring charts.
An impressive return of 25 goals and 18 assists across all competitions put Salah top of the scoring ranks, while Darwin Nunez was his closest competitor with just 18 goals.

However, his immediate future looked bleak when the winger publicly clashed on the touchline with Klopp in Liverpool’s recent draw against West Ham.
Salah appeared to fume at the former Liverpool boss when waiting to come on as a substitute and later warned there would be ‘fire’ if he spoke after the game.
Klopp later cooled talk of a falling out between the pair by insisting the matter had been dealt with.
Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and club captain Virgil van Dijk are also in the frame for potential summer exits as they continue to weigh up their futures.
