Salah Hints at Leaving Liverpool After Successful Win Over Man City
Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s star forward, has hinted that the recent 2-0 victory over Manchester City could be his final appearance against the reigning champions at Anfield, with his future at the club still uncertain.
The Egyptian international played a pivotal role in securing the three points for Liverpool, setting up Cody Gakpo for the opening goal before confidently converting a penalty in the second half to seal the win.
This impressive result pushed Jurgen Klopp’s side to a commanding nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League, leaving Manchester City 11 points behind.
Salah’s performance was a testament to his skill and leadership on the pitch, but off the field, his contract situation is starting to become a topic of conversation once again.
With his current deal expiring at the end of the season, many fans and pundits have been speculating about his future with the Reds.
After the game, Salah was once again asked about his plans moving forward.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he shared that he is currently reflecting on his future. “Honestly, it’s in my head,” he said.
“Until now, this is the last City game I will play for Liverpool, so I was just going to enjoy it. The atmosphere was incredible, so I will enjoy every second here.”
Salah, who has been one of Liverpool’s most important players since joining the club in 2017, did not shy away from expressing his excitement for the season ahead, but also left his future open-ended.“Hopefully, we just win the league and will see what will happen,” he added.
The 2-0 win over Manchester City is significant not only for the points it adds to Liverpool’s tally but also for the psychological boost it gives the team in their ongoing title challenge.
With the likes of Gakpo, who is gradually finding his feet at Anfield, and the return to form of key players like Salah, Liverpool looks primed to compete at the highest level this season.
Fenerbahçe have entered the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, a player Galatasaray are hoping to bring back this summer. Reports from Ekol Sports reveal that Fenerbahçe’s president, Ali Koç, has tabled the highest offer so far to Napoli in an attempt to lure the Nigerian forward to their squad.
Galatasaray, who had Osimhen on loan last season, are also keen to keep him permanently. The 25-year-old played a vital role in their success last season, helping the club secure both the Turkish Cup and the Super Lig title. Although Galatasaray have made their offer, they’re still waiting for Osimhen to make a final decision.
The Super Eagles star is currently on summer break and hasn’t revealed where he plans to play next season. Several top clubs across Europe and beyond are monitoring his situation. Aside from Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, Juventus, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Saudi giants Al Hilal have all shown interest.
However, sources close to Osimhen say his first option is to rejoin Galatasaray on a permanent deal, but only if a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs doesn’t materialize during this summer transfer window.
Former Real Madrid legend Luis Figo has shared his top picks for this year’s Ballon d’Or. With the winner set to be announced in September, many names are in the running, but Figo believes three players stand out.
The Portuguese icon pointed to Ousmane Dembele, Lamine Yamal, and Vitinha as his favourites to take home football’s biggest individual honour. “All three had incredible seasons with their clubs,” Figo said in a chat with Sport Bible.
He added, “There are plenty of players who deserve it based on how they performed. But in the end, it depends on what matters more; your individual stats or the trophies you’ve won.” Figo also admitted the final decision is out of his hands, saying, “It’s not up to me, but I personally like players like Lamine, Vitinha, and Dembele; they’ve all been outstanding this season.”
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has expressed his desire to have Kylian Mbappe and Endrick back on the pitch as soon as possible. Ancelotti shared his thoughts after Los Blancos sealed a comfortable 3-0 win over RB Salzburg in the FIFA Club World Cup, thanks to goals from Vinicius Junior, Valverde, and Gonzalo Garcia.
Both Mbappe and Endrick missed the game, with Mbappe sidelined due to gastroenteritis and Endrick still nursing a hamstring injury. “We want Mbappe back fully fit,” Ancelotti said after the match. “I can’t say for sure if he’ll feature on Tuesday against Juventus, but we’re hopeful.”
He also gave an update on Endrick’s condition, saying, “He’s still recovering, but we expect him to join the squad in the US for training. I’m counting on him for what’s ahead.”
