Mohamed Salah has already agreed to a transfer away from Liverpool and will leave Anfield this summer.

That is according to former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique, who fully believes that Salah will depart the club at the end of the season.

Salah was the subject of some huge offers from the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer window of 2023.

Al-Ittihad had a massive offer of €175 million rejected by Liverpool in the closing days of the summer.

But it has been widely reported that Al-Ittihad and other Saudi sides will return to make a new bid in 2024.

And Enrique believes this summer Salah will leave Liverpool.

What did Jose Enrique say?

“If the right offer comes then I think Salah will leave because I think he was actually trying to leave last summer,” Enrique told Grosvenor Sport.

“They were offered something like £200 million for him last summer and that was a real offer!

“When you get an offer like that, usually it means there is already an agreement between the player and the club. I think Salah had already agreed to go and I believe that he will finally go to Saudi Arabia this summer.”

“Jurgen Klopp is leaving so it is the perfect time for Salah to go. There is a new cycle happening at Liverpool and lots of changes, so it is perfect for him. This will likely be the final big contract of his career, so I think he’ll leave for Saudi Arabia.”

Given Salah will be 32 this summer, it is widely believed that Liverpool will consider a sale at the end of the season.

Salah joined Liverpool from Roma for a bargain €38m in 2017 and has since gone on to become one of the club’s greatest players of all time.

He has scored 209 goals in 342 games for Liverpool, leading the club to the Premier League and Champions League titles. He has won three Premier League Golden Boots and was Premier League Player of the Year in 2017-18.
