Liverpool could face a significant challenge when Mohamed Salah eventually decides to leave Merseyside, according to fellow Reds forward Luis Diaz.
Salah, who has been instrumental since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017, is now in the final year of his contract, during which he has netted an impressive 214 goals across all competitions.
Despite being linked with clubs from the Saudi Pro League and Paris Saint-Germain, Salah has yet to secure a new contract with Liverpool, raising questions about his future.
His recent remarks following Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United further fueled speculation.
In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Salah hinted that the 2024-25 season could be his “last year” at Anfield, adding that no one at the club has discussed a contract extension with him and that his future remains uncertain.
Luis Diaz, who benefited from two of Salah’s assists at Old Trafford, expressed concern about the potential impact of Salah’s departure.
The Colombian winger shared his thoughts with Telemundo, saying, “It would be difficult for us, for Liverpool. Losing a key player like him would hurt us a lot.
He still has a year to decide, and it’s not an easy decision. He’s always given his best from the start. We respect his choice, but I hope he stays.”
Salah, who also scored in the match against Manchester United, has now tallied 10 goals in nine appearances at Old Trafford, making him the second player in Premier League history to score 10 or more goals at a single away venue, following Alan Shearer’s 10 goals at Elland Road.
In addition to his goals, Salah has either scored or assisted in 17 of Liverpool’s last 23 Premier League goals against Manchester United, cementing his status as the player with the most goal involvements against the Red Devils in the competition’s history.
