Mohamed Salah says he can play until the age of 40 and remains open to a potential future move to Saudi Arabia after his Liverpool contract ends in 2027. The 32-year-old Egyptian forward, who just delivered another remarkable season for Liverpool with 29 goals and 18 assists, confirmed he was in talks with Saudi Pro League clubs but ultimately signed a new deal to remain at Anfield. Salah, a key figure in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign, admitted the Saudi offer was tempting—reports suggested he was in line to earn at least £500 million—but his heart remained on Merseyside for now.

Despite staying at Liverpool, Salah has not closed the door on a Middle East switch once his contract expires. The Premier League icon, currently fifth on the all-time goalscoring list with 186 goals, says he feels physically and mentally strong enough to continue playing at the highest level well into his late 30s. Salah also revealed that he is still in contact with Saudi clubs and that a future move could happen after 2027.
