Mohamed Salah’s future seems, barring an unexpected turn, increasingly further away from Anfield. The ‘Pharaoh’ contract ends in June and he has reiterated on several occasions his desire for a change of scenery.

In November he already expressed his disappointment at not having received any renewal offer. “I’m more outside than inside,” he said. A few days ago, in an interview with ‘Sky’, he went one step further: “This year will be my last at the club.”
If we add to that the ‘siren songs’ that, for several seasons, have been coming from Saudi Arabia, well… white and in bottle. As if that were not enough, Turki Al Alshikh, owner of Almería, has taken it upon himself to fan the flame by publishing a post of Salah dressed in the Al Hilal shirt on his ‘Facebook’.

It could be a coincidence, but the owner of Almería does not give a ‘stitch without a thread’. If we add to that that he is an advisor to the Royal Court and that he holds the position of General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, the news takes on even more ‘body’.
For now, we have to wait. And the Egyptian, as long as he remains a Liverpool player, does not want distractions. In fact, he is completing one of the best seasons of his career: his 21 goals and 17 assists in 29 games have contributed to the Reds being leaders in both the Premier and the Champions League.
