The agreement did not end a fraught period for the forward.<\/p>\n<p>Months after the contract was completed, following a win at Southampton, he admitted he was \u201cdisappointed\u201d not to have been offered a new deal and was \u201cprobably more out than in\u201d. Salah also acknowledged he came close to leaving. That unease has returned amid Liverpool\u2019s difficult start to the 2025\u201326 season.<\/p>\n<p>After being benched in a 3\u20133 draw with Leeds in early December, the 33-year-old said he had been \u201cthrown under the bus\u201d and that he had \u201cno relationship\u201d with manager Arne Slot. Those comments have reopened speculation over where Salah could finish his career.<\/p>\n<p>Paris Saint-Germain: Before signing his most recent Liverpool contract, Salah was, according to L&#8217;Equipe, open to a move to Paris and engaged in talks with the French champions. PSG had an urgent need after Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 left for Real Madrid, but their squad delivered a quadruple in 2024\u201325, capped by a Champions League triumph, and Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 won the Ballon d\u2019Or. With wide options such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola and D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9 and academy names like Ibrahim Mbaye, Quentin Ndjantou and Senny Maluyu, PSG are rated as unlikely. Likelihood Rating: 1\/10.<\/p>\n<p>MLS (San Diego FC): San Diego FC impressed in their inaugural MLS season, topping their half of the division and reaching the Western Conference finals. Links to owner Mohamed Mansour have been noted, though they remain tenuous. Likelihood Rating: 4\/10.<\/p>\n<p>Galatasaray: The Turkish club has a history of attracting stars and could provide a passionate stage for Salah, but questions remain over transfer fees and wage demands. Likelihood Rating: 7\/10.<\/p>\n<p>Al Hilal: The Saudi side, boasting former Premier League players and Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez among its ranks, has been strongly linked following Salah\u2019s remarks. For Salah it could be a lucrative final chapter; for the club it would be a major signing.
