It is arguably the most significant story involving Liverpool Football Club right now. Even though he is still playing at a world-class level, the talismanic attacker has not committed to the team past the end of the current campaign.
It becomes catastrophic when Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are in the same predicament.Consequently, Reds everywhere are watching Salah’s every action, searching for any clue as to what he will do next. Fans were furious when he said that this would be his “last season” at Liverpool after the team’s 3-0 thumping of Manchester United in September, although it was later revealed that this was just because contract talks had not yet begun.

According to reports, they are currently, and Salah wants to stay with the team for three more years. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is offering him a salary that is the highest in the world in an attempt to lure him to any of the teams owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Making a choice would be tough for anyone in those circumstance. Which would you choose—staying at the team where you became one of the best players in history and competing for league and Champions League titles for three more years, or accepting the offer that would make you more money from playing than any other football player in history?
Will Salah pick Liverpool or Saudi Arabia?Salah himself appears to be unsure of what to do. He shared a passage from an Arabic book he was reading on his Instagram story earlier. The line reads: The text itself is translated as “Who are the mentally ill?”
The majority of human decisions, according to research, are motivated more by emotion than by reason. We frequently base decisions on our feelings about something, and we are not always able to articulate why we made the choice; we simply believe it was the right one at the moment.Emotional convictions account for 80% of our decisions. Logical analysis is the basis of 20% of our decisions.What does that reveal about Salah’s attitude toward this decision he must make? The text implies that it is incorrect to base a decision on feelings of conviction.
You could counter that his history at Liverpool makes his decision to stay emotional, but it’s also true that leaving the glory and sporting success Liverpool could have in the coming years in order to earn more than Cristiano Ronaldo’s reported £167 million annually is undoubtedly emotional.
However, having an emotional attachment to a location and its people isn’t the worst thing in the world. Even though it would be life-altering money, Salah, who is already a multimillionaire, would become comparatively unknown in the Saudi Pro League.
Mo, make the correct choice. You won’t be sorry.
