Mohamed Salah is entering the final six months of his Liverpool contract, meaning clubs from outside of England can soon approach the Egyptian and entice him to move in their direction on a free transfer at the end of the season.

His list of achievements and accolades for the Reds is remarkable. He is the club's third-highest scorer of all time, notching 226 in 370 games, and he is the highest-scoring African player in Premier League history. He also sits eighth on the division's top-scoring list with 170. His 77 assists, meanwhile, are good for 11th in the English top flight.

He has picked up every possible trophy for Liverpool, including one Premier League title and one Champions League winner's medal.

Salah is, quite simply, a legend of the club, and one of the best players ever to grace a football pitch.

In the last few years of Jurgen Klopp's Anfield reign, it looked like he was slowing down, with age and thousands of miles in the legs catching up to him. But under Arne Slot, he is somehow rejuvenated, scoring 13 in 14 Premier League games and providing eight assists for good measure.

But the 32-year-old might not be wearing a red shirt for much longer, and his remarkable form this season will no doubt have encouraged a handful of clubs to invest in his talents for a few years.

The Athletic's David Ornstein reported Anfield officials are set to offer him a new deal, but with each day that passes, the club and its fans will become more and more concerned that he won't put pen to paper and he'll be taking his talents elsewhere.

But which other teams could we expect to make an offer? Read on for a handful of prospective parties who could be keen on putting a contract offer in Salah's hands.

Saudi Pro League

In 2023, Liverpool reportedly rejected a £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad for Salah.

An offer that seemingly couldn't be refused was, apparently, refusable, with the club deciding to keep him on board despite his value declining as his contract grew closer to its end.

Looking back, it was probably a wise decision, with the forward now powering the club towards a possible Premier League title.

Could a club from the Saudi Pro League be an option for Salah if he runs down his contract? With the way he's playing now, that possibility looks increasingly unlikely.

At the start of last season, it looked like his previous high standards were waning, and there wasn't much more that could be extracted from a career that had reached notable heights. A hefty payday to see out the rest of his playing days made a lot of sense from a personal point of view.

But he's been tremendous this season, winding back the clock and looking exactly like the player Liverpool signed in 2017. Because of that, he'll back himself to win a few more major titles, which is something the Saudi Pro League simply can't offer—no matter how much money they spend.

He may yet head in that direction, but not for a few years.

Verdict: Sell

Paris Saint-Germain

On Dec. 1, French publication L'Equipe (h/t Eurosport) reported Paris Saint-Germain had opened talks with Salah regarding a free transfer.

The Ligue 1 club's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi moved quickly to quash those rumors, telling Sky Germany that those assertions were "not true."

"He's a fantastic and amazing player, but we've never considered him, to be honest," Al-Khelaifi added.

With Salah not quite in the final six months of his Liverpool contract, it's perhaps not surprising that PSG would want to play down their interest in his possible signing. But it still looks like it could happen.

PSG's star power has dwindled in the last few seasons, with the exit of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid representing the departure of the club's last remaining true superstar. Signing Salah on a free would be tempting, especially as the Parisians still seek the first Champions League title in club history.

Salah could see it as a viable option, too. While winning Ligue 1 doesn't hold the gravitas that other top European titles do, he'll still almost certainly be able to play in the Champions League for another couple of years. He would also likely pick up a few individual accolades in France to further boost his legend status.

Even if they won't declare an interest out loud, it's difficult to rule PSG out of the Salah sweepstakes.

Verdict: Buy

MLS

For the chances of the Egyptian King joining the GOAT in MLS, you can pretty much read the entry for the Saudi Pro League.

Lionel Messi is having a whale of a time in Miami, but Salah's game is still at too high a level to join the Argentinian for a party in the U.S.A. Whether Messi should be there himself at this point in his career is a discussion for another day.

Salah could see the States as a viable destination in the future, but right now, he still has too much-unfinished business in Europe.

Verdict: Sell

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich is no stranger to signing Premier League goalmachines in their 30s, so it wouldn't be surprising if they were eyeing up Salah to support Harry Kane.

Kane is still undeniably lethal in and around the box, but his movement has been lacking for the last few years. Salah, who still boasts copious energy and more tricks than David Blaine, would be a welcome addition to the Bundesliga side's attack. Imagine opposing sides' fear when seeing those two players lining up.

The big thing counting against this move, though, is sacrificing young talent to squeeze the Egyptian into the starting XI. Michael Olise works his magic from the right flank, and he's been performing well in his debut season. Nineteen-year-old Mathys Tel, meanwhile, can also fill that spot in a pinch, and hindering his development might not be so wise.

There is one thing that could make a deal more likely, though. Leroy Sané is also coming to the end of his contract, and replacing the winger with an arguably better player on a free transfer seems like a smart bit of business.

Vincent Kompany knows about Salah's ability firsthand, so he might jump at the chance of signing a player who used to be a thorn in his side when the Belgian was in Manchester City's back line.

Verdict: Buy

Napoli

Could Napoli be a dark horse in the race to sign Salah? This is pure speculation, but it could be a good fit.

The Partenopei sit on top of Serie A, albeit narrowly, and look like a dead certainty to qualify for the Champions League next season.

It doesn't seem there is a way back for Victor Osimhen, who's been shipped out on loan to Galatasaray amid a falling out with the club and probably won't suit up for them again.

Meanwhile, 23-year-old Kvicha Kvaratskhelia has been tipped for a move for some time, with even Liverpool linked with the Georgia star, according to Team Talk.

While Salah doesn't fit the positions those two players occupy, he will help to make up for the goals and assists lost with those potential permanent exits.

Salah teaming up with Romelu Lukaku is a Chelsea attacking partnership from the multiverse—under the guidance of former Blues boss Antonio Conte, no less—so it would intriguing to see how they work out in Italy.

With a potential title defense and a Champions League run to prepare for next season, Salah could be an affordable option to bolster an attacking corps that could experience a bit of a shakeup.

Serie A might just favor the Egyptian's legs as the years creep up, too, and he's publicly praised the club in the past. After Liverpool beat Napoli 2-0 in the Champions League in 2022, he told BT Sport (h/t Football Italia) that the Partenopei was "one of the best teams in the world."

Verdict: Sell...but you never know

Liverpool

Whatever happens, Mohamed Salah has etched his name into Liverpool folklore.

The Egyptian's standout moments in a red shirt are too numerous to keep track of, and with at least half a season at the club remaining, he's got plenty of chances to add a few more.

But setting aside loyalty, a fanbase that adores him, and the fond memories he's already made, staying at Anfield just seems to make the most sense.

He won't go to another Premier League side, and the true top clubs in Europe are likely to pass on him for financial reasons or simply because they are already overflowing with top talent.

His signing would be a gamble, too, because of the wages he'll likely be seeking, the talent he'll be blocking, and the fact that career drop-off could be lurking just around the corner.

Right now, Liverpool are playing some of the finest football on the continent. Manager Arne Slot is settled in comfortably and has taken the Reds to a new level. And the squad is both stacked and balanced, giving the Egyptian ample support as he continues to astound and astonish.

It is the best possible situation for him to be in now and for at least another two years, after which he can chase that one last giant paycheck in Saudi Arabia or the United States—assuming he doesn't take yet another unexpected leap forward.

If the board doesn't pull their finger out, the fans will be furious. A contract is supposedly on the way, and it would be surprising if Salah doesn't sign his name on it.

Verdict: Buy
