The future of Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah remains publicly undecided, but the Egypt international star has continued to drop hints that he has already decided what he will do in the summer.
Salah’s contract with the Anfield club expires at the end of June and whether the veteran attacker stays or completes a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League continues to hang in the balance.

Naturally, the Reds are desperate for the attacker to remain on their books after a remarkable season in which he leads the Premier League in both goals and assists, but there is a very real fear that the era of the 32-year-old could be drawing to a close.
Salah has previously dropped hints suggesting that he could leave the club, going so far as to tell fans about a lack of progress in his contract talks.
"It's my last year at the club and I want to do something special for the city," he told Sky Sports when asked about his ambition to win the Premier League.
"It's the last six months. There is no progress [on contract talks]. We are far away from any progress, so we just have to wait and see."

Speaking after a 1-0 win over Newcastle on Wednesday that carried Liverpool 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League, the Egyptian fuelled rumours that he could leave.
“I just want them to remember that I was here for eight years and I gave everything,” he told TNT Sports. “I want the fans to remember that I gave everything for them, everything for this city. I loved football, I gave everything for it and I wasn't lazy. I think that's what it's about, they give you love, you have a connection with the fans because you give everything.”
Al Hilal put themselves in Salah race
Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal confirmed their desire to sign Salah on a free transfer earlier this month.
"I would like to have Salah at Al-Hilal, he has a way of playing that fits the team," head coach Jorge Jesus said.
The offer from the Saudi’s will far eclipse what Liverpool can afford to pay Salah, with claims that his wage could match or even exceed Cristiano Ronaldo’s earnings.
