Overview
- Speaking to Paddy Power, former Liverpool forward Joe Cole said he expects Mohamed Salah to leave at the end of the 2025/26 season.
- Cole described Salah as a tactical problem for Slot because the team’s play routinely funnels to the winger, limiting other options.
- Reports note Salah has six goals across all competitions this season, putting him on pace for his lowest-scoring Liverpool campaign.
- Salah signed an extension through the end of 2026/27 and is in the final 18 months of his deal, with no club confirmation of any exit.
- Transfer chatter has included Saudi Pro League interest, and Cole suggested Hugo Ekitike could thrive with a larger role if Salah departs.
