Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly leading the race to sign Mohamed Salah. The French giants are said to be preparing a big move for the Egyptian king, but will the Reds let their talisman leave?
Despite being 32, Salah has been unstoppable under new boss Arne Slot, contributing five goals and five assists already this season.
His performances have kept Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, and they’ve started their Champions League campaign strong as well.
Yet, with Salah entering the final 10 months of his contract, the uncertainty surrounding his future is growing.

PSG or Saudi Arabia? - The next move for Salah
While clubs from Saudi Arabia have been sniffing around, offering eye-watering sums for Salah, it seems PSG might be his preferred destination.
Reports (via The Sun) suggest the Ligue 1 side is ready to offer Salah a three-year deal, aiming to make him their next marquee player following Kylian Mbappe's exit to Real Madrid.
PSG’s interest is serious, but Liverpool have already turned down offers north of £100 million ($131m), confident that Salah might sign a new deal to stay at Anfield.
Club officials believe the Egyptian still has plenty to give at the top level, and Salah himself reportedly wants to continue competing in Europe rather than make the switch to the Saudi Pro League.

Salah to the rescue?
PSG have scored 20 goals in their first six Ligue 1 games, so it's clear they’re not struggling domestically. However, it’s the Champions League where they’ve faltered, losing to Arsenal after a shaky win over Girona. The hope for PSG is that Salah could provide the magic they need in Europe, where their star power has often come up short.
For Liverpool fans, losing Salah would be a bitter pill to swallow. After all, he’s been their go-to guy in big moments for years. But with PSG circling and no contract extension signed, the pressure is on.
