Mohamed Salah's market value has tumbled to €35m amid a public rift with manager Arne Slot and a dip in form. For punters this raises the likelihood of a January exit — consider backing Salah to join a Saudi club or to miss Liverpool starts as transfer speculation and squad tensions grow.
Mohamed Salah's Anfield Future Uncertain as Market Value Plunges
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has seen his transfer valuation fall sharply to €35m, according to CIES Football Observatory figures, amid a rocky start to the season and a public rift with manager Arne Slot. The drop marks a significant decline from the £150m offer tabled by Al-Ittihad in 2023 and from a €50m valuation in June.
Form, Age and Market Reality
At 33, approaching 34, Salah's advancing age combined with underwhelming performances and Liverpool's inconsistent results have dented his market stock. The Reds sit 10th in the Premier League after losing six of their first 15 matches, factors that analysts say have contributed to the lower valuation.
Transfer Interest and January Window Speculation
Several Saudi clubs remain interested — names reported in the mix include Al-Hilal, Al-Qadisah and Neom — while MLS sides like San Diego and Chicago Fire are also monitoring the situation. With the January window approaching, sources suggest a move cannot be ruled out if discussions between Salah and the club do not resolve the current tensions.
Managerial Rift and Squad Decisions
Salah was omitted from the squad for Liverpool's Champions League win over Inter, a decision Slot said was made by the club. Slot indicated he planned to speak with Salah directly and that the outcome of that conversation would determine his availability for upcoming fixtures. Slot added that he wants future public comments about the player to come only after internal discussions.
Immediate Implications for Liverpool
The dispute comes at a sensitive moment for Liverpool, who have relied on Salah for goals and experience for years. A midseason exit would force the club to adapt quickly, while keeping Salah amid tension risks further disruption to squad harmony and performance.
What This Means for Bettors
The valuation drop and public saga shift betting dynamics: odds for a January transfer to a Saudi club are likely to shorten, while markets for Salah to miss Premier League starts or be benched in the run-up to the Africa Cup of Nations may see increased activity. Punters should watch official squad announcements and the outcome of Slot's meetings for short-term signals.
