Mohamed Salah’s agent addresses transfer rumours ahead of Liverpool exit
Mohamed Salah’s agent has dismissed public speculation surrounding the forward’s next destination as the 33-year-old prepares to leave Liverpool this summer.
The Egyptian international is set to depart Anfield after an illustrious nine-year spell that yielded 257 goals across all competitions.
Despite agreeing a contract extension last April to stay until 2027, a mutual agreement has been reached to curtail his time on Merseyside early.
Since the impending departure was announced, the former Roma attacker has been heavily linked with lucrative moves to the Saudi Pro League and Turkey.
Agent shuts down immediate speculation
Representative Abaas has now moved to quash ongoing public discussion regarding his client’s immediate future.
Taking to social media platform X, the agent insisted that the prolific winger is yet to finalise any plans for next season.
“Mohamed is doing perfectly fine and neither he nor I prefer to discuss sensitive future plans with people not involved in them.”
“Both he and I are very private about these things. Yes, people may ask and they may get a standard polite response but that’s about it.”
International teammate hints at potential stay
The firm statement follows intriguing comments from Egypt goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy.
The international teammate suggested the prospect of leaving the Premier League giants has weighed heavily on the veteran forward.
“The prospect of leaving Liverpool has affected Mo psychologically, but the situation might change and he could still stay with the team.”
El-Shenawy added that the player himself confessed to being entirely uncertain about his next career move.
Turkish giants circle after difficult campaign
On the pitch, the legendary attacker endured a relatively challenging domestic campaign before his scheduled departure.
He managed just 12 goals across all competitions last season, representing his lowest return since arriving in England back in 2017.
This dip in attacking output has not deterred potential suitors, with Fenerbahce openly declaring their interest.
Ertan Torunogullari, an executive at the Turkish club, recently claimed that productive discussions regarding a potential transfer had already taken place.
“He was very keen on coming to Turkey. The meetings we had were extremely positive. We had established common ground with him on many issues, including his salary.”
Torunogullari expressed confidence that a deal could be finalised should the club’s new management team wish to pursue the transfer.
