As things currently stand, the Egyptian phenomenon is set to depart the Reds on a free when his contract expires this summer.

Salah admitted that he has produced the individual season of his career as Liverpool sit 11 points clear of Arsenal at the top.
His astonishing 41 goal contributions in the league via 25 goals and 16 assists has propelled Arne Slot to the summit of the Prem table.
Remarkably, it seems that won’t be enough to keep him at Anfield beyond the summer.
Salah spoke with club legend Steve McManaman about his time at Liverpool ahead of Newcastle’s Merseyside trip on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old – who is currently Liverpool’s third highest-ever goal scorer – shared his adoration for the historic club.
But Salah was speaking in past tense and all but told fans that his days in Red are numbered as things stand.
On his legacy, the winger told TNT Sports: “I just want fans to remember that I gave it all to the fans, I gave it all to the city.
“I was here, I wasn’t lazy, I just enjoyed my football and gave it my all.

“I think that’s what the city is about, they give you love, you have a connection with them.
“I just want them to remember that I was here for eight years…or whatever.”
Salah broke SIX records when Liverpool dismantled Manchester City with ease on Sunday.
McManaman then stressed the obvious fact that Liverpool fans want Salah to stay beyond eight years.
The legendary Real Madrid midfielder – who works as a TNT commentator now – asked Salah if there’s been any developments with his contract.
Salah smiled as he shook his head and added: “No, in a very polite way.”
It’s not exactly a comforting update from the main man but of course Anfield chiefs Fenway Sports Group could offer him a new deal.
Salah has been free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs since January and Saudi Arabia remain in the hunt.
This is the fifth time Salah has dropped a hint about leaving Liverpool throughout the season.
After beating Man City in December, he admitted: “Honestly that’s what’s in my head — this is in all probability the last City game I will play for Liverpool so I am just going to enjoy it.“
Salah first made headlines after Liverpool smashed Manchester United 3-0 in September.
He continued: “Nobody has talked to me yet about a contract so I am just like ‘I will play my last season and we will see in the summer.”
The Egyptian’s 241st goal moved him joint-third on Liverpool’s all-time goalscoring list Gordon Hodgson.
Ian Rush leads the way with 346 goals, Roger Hunt has 285.
Asked if he’s planning to chase the goal-scoring records of Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane or Alan Shearer, Salah said: “Yeah if I stay in this country, I will think about it.
“But so far I’m just thinking about winning the Premier League and we will see at the end of the season.”
Arsene Wenger advised Salah that great players can always be called upon to produce a match-winning moment, even if they’ve had underwhelming game.
He said: “I try to be stable and understand that you won’t be at your best every single game.
“But if you stay focused, maybe you’ll have one change. I don’t engage in trash talking. I just need one chance and you will play for it.”
If Salah does leave this summer, no other player would have left a club on a bigger high.
Salah added: “I think this season is my best season because I make the other players around me better as well.
“If you look at the all the numbers for my team-mates, they’re going to be higher than my previous seasons. My assists are higher.
“If you look at that direction, I think that Cody Gakpo and others players are enjoying a good season.”
On the Ballon d’Or talk, Salah said: “Lets win the league and Champions League first.
“Because the Ballon d’Or, there’s sometimes other stuff involved there. I just want to win the Premier League.”
