However, the situation has changed completely since then and the forward is now close to securing his future at the club, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/premier-league/2024/12/16/salah-cerca-renovar-liverpool.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>. An official announcement could even be made before the end of 2025.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

The forward has been in brilliant form again this season and has 13 goals and nine assists in just 15 Premier League matches for Arne Slot's side.</p>
