Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has dismissed speculation linking his club to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah. With Salah entering the final six months of his contract, rumors have swirled about his potential move to PSG, but Al-Khelaifi has firmly denied any pursuit of the Egyptian star.
Al-Khelaifi Refutes Transfer Claims
Speaking to Sky Sports Germany, Al-Khelaifi addressed the speculation directly:
“It’s not true. He’s a fantastic and amazing player, but we’ve never considered him, to be honest. We know every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.”
While quashing the Salah rumors, the PSG president did hint that the club remains open to exploring transfer opportunities in January if suitable deals arise.
Salah’s Uncertain Future at Liverpool
Salah’s contract situation has put his future at Liverpool in doubt. Approaching the final six months of his deal, the 32-year-old will soon be eligible to negotiate with overseas clubs for a potential summer move.
Reports suggest Salah is frustrated with Liverpool’s reluctance to offer him a new contract. A short-term extension might satisfy the forward, but no official talks have been confirmed.
Arne Slot’s Take on the Situation
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has consistently avoided public discussions about Salah’s future, brushing off recent speculation as premature. For example, Salah’s comments about his match against Manchester City possibly being his last at Anfield were downplayed by Slot, who reiterated his focus on the present.
What’s Next for Salah and PSG?
While PSG has ruled themselves out of the race, Salah’s uncertain contract situation continues to fuel speculation. As the January transfer window approaches, his availability will undoubtedly attract interest from Europe’s top clubs. For now, however, both Salah and PSG remain committed to their current paths.
