It has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, but it seems that Mohamed Salah will be staying at Liverpool this summer. This comes after the appointment of Arne Slot as the new manager, who is reportedly keen on keeping the Egyptian winger at the club.
There were rumors that Salah could be leaving after attracting serious interest from Saudi Arabia in 2023. However, it has been confirmed that he still has a year left on his contract with Liverpool. Despite receiving bids over £100m last summer, the club made it clear that they were not willing to part ways with Salah.
While his numbers remained strong last season, there were some concerns about his performances taking a slight dip. This was also coupled with a public disagreement with manager Jurgen Klopp, which happened when he was dropped for a match against West Ham. However, it seems that these issues have been resolved and Salah is expected to stay with the club.
Although it may be tempting for Liverpool to accept a large offer for a player with only a year left on his contract, the club is determined to keep Salah. This is especially true as he turns 32 later this month and may not have many years left at the top level. The club is also looking to strengthen the squad during Slot's first summer in charge, rather than sell any key players.
One area that Liverpool is looking to improve is their wide options, with the potential departure of Joel Matip also making center-back a priority position. The club is also keeping an eye on the role that Slot may have in mind for Trent Alexander-Arnold. The young Englishman has been primarily used as a right-back under Klopp, but there is a possibility that he could be pushed into midfield by Slot. In that case, Liverpool will be looking to bring in a new first-choice right-back to fill the void.
