Mohamed Salah sparks excitement among Liverpool fans with a mysterious social media post, adding to speculation surrounding the contract situations of the Egyptian star, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Mohamed Salah sparked a wave of speculation on Monday with a cryptic social media post following Liverpool’s dramatic 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
The Egyptian forward, who is among three key Liverpool players nearing the end of their contracts, scored his 18th Premier League goal of the season during the match. With his current deal set to expire in the summer, uncertainty about his future has grown, as has speculation surrounding Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Notably, Real Madrid reportedly submitted a £20 million bid for Alexander-Arnold last week.
Salah’s post on X (formerly Twitter) added to the intrigue. He shared a photo of himself and Alexander-Arnold discussing a free kick during Sunday’s game, with Van Dijk visible in the background. The absence of a caption only heightened curiosity.
Liverpool fans, aware of the trio’s uncertain futures, made their feelings clear. Before the game against Ruben Amorim’s side, supporters in the Kop unveiled a banner urging the club’s owners, FSG, to secure new deals for Salah, Van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold. The banner featured their faces alongside the message: “FSG Give Mo & Co their dough.”
The display resonated online, with fans praising the stand against FSG. One post read: “Fans making it clear – pay Salah and the team what they deserve.” Another added, “The message is clear: FSG, give Mo and the team what they deserve.”
Salah has been vocal about the situation, revealing in December that he hadn’t received a contract offer and expressing disappointment with the process. Speaking to Sky Sports last week, he hinted that this could be his final season, stating, “So far, yes. It’s the last six months. There is no progress there.”
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold has remained silent despite mounting speculation, particularly after his poor performance against United. Jamie Carragher suggested on Sunday that Real Madrid’s bid was encouraged by the player or his representatives, stating, “No one puts bids in now unless they’ve already spoken to the player about it.”
Van Dijk, Liverpool’s captain, appears more settled. Reports suggest the 33-year-old is eager to extend his stay at Anfield, where he has been since his move from Southampton sev
en years ago.
