Two of Europe’s biggest clubs are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah.
At the age of 32, Salah has shown the world he still has plenty to offer after a brilliant start to the 24/25 season.
The Egyptian scored in each of Liverpool’s opening three matches against Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United and has also registered three assists.
Salah is likely to be Liverpool’s main man again this season but his future is starting to dominate the headlines.

After the 3-0 win over United, Salah appeared to drop a major bombshell regarding his contract situation.
He said: “I was coming to the game and I said, 'look, it could be the last time (at Old Trafford).
“Nobody from the club has talked to me yet about contracts. It's not up to me, it's up to the club but we will see.”
Salah added: “As you know, it's my last year in the club. I just want to enjoy it. I don't want to think about it (the contract). I feel I'm free to play football and we'll see what's going to happen next year.”
With his contract set to expire at the end of the 24/25 season, it has been claimed that two big clubs are eyeing a move for Salah.
As reported by Catalan news outlet El Nacional, Italian Serie A giants Juventus and French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint Germain are interested in luring Salah away from the Premier League.
When asked about Salah’s comments after the United clash, manager Arne Slot said: “It's a lot of 'if'. At this moment he is one of ours and I am really happy with him being one of ours and he played really well.
“I don't talk about contracts from players but I can talk for hours about how Mo played today.”
Meanwhile Premier League legend Ian Wright has also had his say on the Salah saga, he said: “I do get the impression that he will probably like to stay at Liverpool and break records. He has got that legacy to play for.
“Let’s say he stays for three years. Even if he dropped off in the last year, that’s 10 years of unbelievable service.”
Wright added: “I believe that he will probably stay if Liverpool go about it. And I know that people get very nervy around giving contracts to people in their 30s, but I think that he’s an exception in the way that he prepares himself and plays.”
