Friday evening and the Mohamed Salah contract situation continues to generate significant coverage. As the season approaches its conclusion, the window for a decision is narrowing. The current state of play: Salah's contract expires at the end of the 2025-26 season. Liverpool have been in discussions with his representatives for months. A new contract has not been agreed. Real Madrid's interest remains: the Spanish giants have maintained contact with Salah's camp throughout the season. A free transfer — if Salah runs down his Liverpool contract — would be one of the most significant transfer coups in recent football history. Liverpool's position: they want Salah to stay. The offer on the table is reported to be one of the most lucrative in the club's history. But the gap between what Liverpool are offering and what Salah's representatives are asking for has proved difficult to bridge. The timeline: if no agreement is reached by the end of April, Salah is likely to leave as a free agent. Liverpool will then reinvest in a successor — with Conceicao and Gyökeres both mentioned. For Saturday's Fulham fixture: none of this matters. Salah will give everything regardless of what is happening off the pitch. He always has. 📅 Sat 11 Apr, 08:30 UTC | Anfield 🏆 GW30 | The Salah Countdown
