Fabrizio Romano warned that Mo Salah could potentially depart Liverpool in the summer if the club fails to strike an agreement with the No.11 over a possible contract extension.
The Sky Sports journalist did add, however, that it was more likely that the Egyptian would favour an exit once his contract expires in 2023 given his commitment to the cause in Merseyside.
“If they have no agreement to extend the contract, there is the possibility for Mo Salah to leave this summer,” the Italian spoke on his YouTube channel.
“This is something that would be normal in case they won’t reach an agreement. This is something that we have to keep open.
“If Liverpool change their stance, they still have a chance to keep Mo Salah because the player is happy in Liverpool, he’s not trying to escape.
“But in the same point, in case this agreement won’t be reached, we can’t exclude him leaving this summer but the expectation, I feel, is that could be, for Mo Salah, more possible to see him leave the club in the summer of 2023 as a free agent.”
Negotiations between player and club are said to have broken down since December, with the reporter claiming that not much in the way of progress has taken place since.

For the fee being touted by one report linking Barcelona with a summer move for the former Roma hitman, it’s difficult to see Jurgen Klopp sanctioning the exit of his top goalscorer.
Indeed, unless a bid of astronomical proportions were to surface, it’s highly unlikely that the club will be tempted by parting ways with Salah as early as the end of the season.
If we can’t manage to find a safe middle ground between our commitment to the wage structure and our Egyptian King’s wage demands, we’d certainly expect the wide man to continue with Liverpool into the next campaign until his contract runs out.
#Ep39 of The Red Nets Podcast: Should we be worried about Mo Salah? Previewing Brighton… and more!
There’s no insight. Only propaganda. He’s become the spokesperson of agents.
Salah’s team want him to get paid more (fair enough). We’ve put what we consider to be our best offer on the table.
Saying that he will walk away on a free (we all know thanks, that’s not news) or that he might even sign for a rival premier club is all just trying to negotiate the contract in public.
It’s classless, and for a normal classy operator, I’m surprised.
The club can afford to pay him more but what happens with future contracts with other valuable plays? I don’t know but it’s something our club has to consider.
Is Salah goes to another club, he’ll be a great player who once played for Liverpool. If he signs for another premier league club, he’ll be a mercenary.
If he signs a contract with us, for the most we can afford, making him our highest-earning player (which is totally fair) he will be a club legend.
So no, it’s not up to the club what they want to do, Mo also gets a say. He’s very very very rich, the offer is probably the most we’ll offer a player and probably less than he could get elsewhere.
Mo gets to weigh that up with his legacy and staying with a club that’s designed to get the best out of him, risking that and going to a team that might struggle, and be considered another mercenary player.
Mo has a lot of say in his future, so Romano is wrong, he’s just doing PR for the agent who is trying to use him to negotiate with Liverpool… because apparently Mo wants to stay… we’ll see how much that’s true.
Liverpool are smart. If we win the league and / or the Champions League, that strengthens our position. Why move away from a club that are perpetual winners? That is set up to get the most from you? If we don’t then we might offer him more because we need him. It changes the dynamic.
