Jamie Carragher has added fresh fuel to the growing uncertainty over Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool, admitting it is difficult to see the Egypt star still in red next season.
Speaking candidly during a wide-ranging interview about Liverpool’s current situation, the former Reds defender suggested that the coming months could define not only Salah’s legacy at Anfield, but also the direction of the club under increasing pressure.
The Egyptian striker has been embroiled in controversy recently after voicing his concerns about his treatment by manager Arne Slot.
Salah even said that someone threw him under the bus at the club.
He was kicked out of three games by Slot and didn’t hold back in voicing his concerns.
Since then, after his peace talks with the club, he returned to the side and appeared against Brighton as a substitute.
Jamie Carragher feels Salah will leave in the summer
Carragher feels that Salah will not be at Liverpool next season.
“I don’t see Mohamed Salah playing for Liverpool next season,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.
“The biggest thing in my mind is, are we going to see Mo Salah from now until the end of the season? Now, we know that now he is going to the Afcon, the Afcon will end in the middle of January.”
Crucially, Carragher dismissed the idea of a romantic move to Europe for Salah.
“Mo Salah will not leave Liverpool for Barcelona or Real Madrid, I just talked about the Saudi League.”
Salah’s imminent departure from the Africa Cup of Nations has fueled speculation.
The 33-year-old will be out at a crucial time of Liverpool’s season, likely to miss Premier League and cup games at a time when the tight score and pressure on manager Arne Slot continues to mount.
Carragher pointed out that a combination of international commitment, ongoing tensions behind the scenes, and growing interest from abroad could push all sides to the ultimate dream.
He added: “Now, Liverpool, in the second half of the season, can reach the final of the FA Cup, can reach the final of the Champions League… Can you imagine Mo Salah from Saudi Arabia watching Liverpool in the final of the Champions League?”
Liverpool have some big decisions to make next year
Salah is entering the final stages of his glory days, Liverpool are balancing finances and club appearances, and Saudi clubs are offering contracts that could redefine the final chapter of his career.
Carragher’s comments reflect a growing belief within the game that, unless there is a dramatic reconciliation and clarity about Salah’s role, this season could represent the end of an era at Anfield.
With Liverpool chasing silverware and Salah preparing for the Afcon, the next few months could decide whether one Premier League relationship reaches a fitting end or heads into an inevitable stalemate.
