Mohamed Salah to leave Liverpool as Rangers discuss forward’s future
Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the current season, with Rangers consultant Stig Inge Bjornebye revealing the Scottish club have internally discussed the forward’s next move.
The Egyptian international confirmed his impending departure from Anfield during the March international break.
He will exit the Premier League giants this summer despite his existing contract running until 2027.
A lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia has been heavily suggested as the next step for the 33-year-old.
Rangers hold internal talks over attacker’s future
Former Liverpool player Bjornebye is currently operating as a football advisor at Ibrox on an initial six-month deal.
The former Norway international admitted the Scottish Premiership side have been speaking about the prolific goalscorer’s availability.
“I don’t know what Mo’s plans are – we discussed it at work today as well, as I’m an advisor to Rangers,” Bjornebye told Egyptian channel Modern MTI.
“We discussed where he’ll go and so on.”
Bjornebye noted that the matter of the forward’s future had been resolved following heated discussions last year.
Anfield legacy and further departures
The lightning-fast winger has established himself as one of the most devastating attackers in world football since arriving on Merseyside in 2017.
Bjornebye believes supporters will fully respect the player’s decision to seek a fresh challenge after nine highly successful years.
“He is a true legend at Liverpool and has achieved a remarkable legacy for a great club,” he added.
“I think most people can accept that he has given the club many great years and now wants to seize a new opportunity, perhaps embarking on another adventure.”
The former Roma man is not the only key figure preparing to bid farewell to the six-time European champions.
Scotland captain Andy Robertson also announced earlier this month that he will leave Anfield when his contract expires at the end of the campaign.
