Mohamed Salah Continues to Shine for Liverpool Amid Future Uncertainty
Mohamed Salah, who signed a new contract with Liverpool in April, is still the team’s star player. However, the Reds may soon need to strategize for a period without his contributions.
Salah has recently set a new record ahead of the 2025/26 season, achieving this milestone without even stepping onto the field. The Premier League has now listed him as the most expensive player at £14.5m in Fantasy Football, marking the highest opening price for a midfielder, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s £14m in 2008/09.
Though this record is less significant compared to his previous achievements during an eight-year tenure at Anfield, it highlights his impressive form last season. Salah’s performance led to 34 goals and 23 assists from 52 matches, with a remarkable 48 goal contributions in the Premier League alone.
Having already earned accolades, including a hat-trick of Premier League Player of the Season awards, Salah’s status as the best footballer in the league remains unquestioned. Now, as he approaches his mid-thirties, questions arise about how much longer he can maintain this high level of performance.
Despite signing a two-year extension, Salah had considered a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League. The upcoming season presents a unique opportunity for Salah to secure his legacy with Liverpool, aiming for both domestic and international success as he participates in the Africa Cup of Nations and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
While Salah remains vital to Liverpool, the Reds have bolstered their squad with significant investments, including £116m for Florian Wirtz. As the excitement builds around new signings, Wirtz could eventually assume Salah’s prominent role, yet for now, Salah stands as the cornerstone of Liverpool’s ambitions.
