Jamie Carragher has added new fuel to the growing uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool, admitting he struggles to see the Egyptian superstar wearing red again next season.
Speaking candidly during a wide-ranging discussion about Liverpool’s current situation, the former Reds defender suggested the coming months could define not only Salah’s legacy at Anfield, but also the club’s direction under increasing pressure.
The Egyptian striker was recently embroiled in controversy after expressing concern over manager Arne Slot’s treatment.
Salah even claimed that someone at the club was throwing him under the bus.
He was sidelined for three matches by Slot and he wasn’t shy about expressing his concern.
Since then, after his peace talks with the club, he returned to the team and appeared against Brighton as a substitute.
Jamie Carragher thinks Salah will leave this summer
Carragher believes 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 big thing in my mind is: are we going to see Mo Salah by the end of the season? Now we know he’s now going to the AFCON, the AFCON will end in mid-January.”
Importantly, Carragher rejected the idea of a romantic European move for Salah.
“Mo Salah is not going to move and leave Liverpool to go to Barcelona or Real Madrid, I just mentioned the Saudi League.”
Salah’s imminent departure for the Africa Cup of Nations has only intensified speculation.
The 33-year-old will be out for a crucial period of Liverpool’s season, potentially missing Premier League and cup matches at a time when margins are tight and pressure on manager Arne Slot continues to build.
Carragher suggested that the combination of international commitments, ongoing tensions behind the scenes and growing interest from abroad could push all parties towards a decisive break.
He added: “Now Liverpool, in the second half of the season, could reach an FA Cup final, a Champions League final… Can you imagine Mo Salah in Saudi Arabia watching Liverpool in the Champions League final? »
Liverpool have big decisions to make next year
Salah is entering the final stages of his prime, Liverpool are balancing their finances and team development, and Saudi clubs are offering deals that could redefine the final chapter of his career.
Carragher’s comments reflect a growing belief within the game that, barring a dramatic reconciliation and clarity over Salah’s role, this season could represent the end of an era at Anfield.
As Liverpool chase silverware and Salah prepares for the AFCON, the next few months could determine whether one of the Premier League’s most iconic partnerships reaches a proper conclusion or drifts towards an inevitable farewell.
