Mohamed Salah's status at Anfield seemed untouchable, yet the current season casts doubt on that. After leading the Reds to the Premier League title last season with 47 assists, the 33-year-old Egyptian winger is going through a significant period of poor form. His statistics are far from his usual standards: just three goals and two assists in 11 games, a significant drop in form for the Pharaohs' captain.

Despite this sporting "wildlife," Liverpool's management has made a strong decision: Mohamed Salah is not for sale . According to Football Insider , the club will not consider any offers this winter or next summer. In the eyes of the board and new coach Arne Slot, this bad patch is only temporary, and Salah remains a key element, both on the pitch and in the club's identity.

However, in recognition of the Egyptian's monumental impact since 2017 – a period that has transformed Liverpool into a title machine – the Reds have granted him a rare privilege: the freedom to choose when to leave .

Anticipation of the post-Salah era: Semenyo in the crosshairs

While Salah's immediate future is secure, Liverpool isn't resting on its laurels. iNews reveals that the club is actively preparing for his succession, a logical precaution should Salah decide to exercise his right to leave at the end of the season.

The name that keeps coming up is Antoine Semenyo , the Ghanaian striker from Bournemouth. A revelation in the Premier League, the 25-year-old stood out last year (13 goals, 7 assists) and has maintained an impressive pace this season (9 contributions in 9 matches).

Liverpool could make an approach as early as the winter transfer window, even though competition is expected to be tough (Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham). Although Bournemouth extended Semenyo's contract this summer, his contract reportedly includes a release clause that could facilitate a move.

In the midst of a sporting crisis (four consecutive defeats), Liverpool must first focus on its recovery. However, by ensuring the continuity of its star while meticulously preparing for the inevitable, the Reds' management is proving that it is already looking to the future without its Egyptian legend.
