With his current deal expiring in summer, Salah can sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside England from January 1st.
Salah has amassed an impressive 223 goals in 368 matches since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017.
His potential departure on a free transfer would represent a significant loss for Liverpool, particularly given his consistent impact in front of goal.
Speaking after a recent match against Manchester City, Salah himself acknowledged the uncertainty, telling Sky Sports: "That was in my head, that, until now, this is possibly the last City game that I play for Liverpool."
