Liverpool Reviews Mohamed Salah's Contract Future

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp considered Manchester United's Antony as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah during contract negotiations in 2022, as the Egyptian's future at Anfield was uncertain. Ultimately, Fenway Sports Group's president, Mike Gordon, decided to prioritize renewing Salah's contract, which led to a significant extension worth £350,000 per week. Antony, instead, transferred to United for £86 million but has struggled to make an impact, with only 17 goal involvements in 87 appearances. Salah's current contract is set to expire next summer, and speculation about his departure has intensified, particularly with potential moves abroad being discussed. Despite previous talks about a possible replacement, it is now deemed unlikely that Antony would be considered again should Salah leave Liverpool. The contrasting fortunes of Salah and Antony since 2022 have left Liverpool fans relieved at the decision to retain Salah.
