Mo Salah’s future takes new twist as bombshell report reveals first club have ‘opened talks’ to sign Liverpool star
Mo Salah's future appears to have taken a new twist after reports claimed the Liverpool star is already in talks over joining a new club.
Salah is out of contract at the end of the season and caused a stir just over a week ago when he made the rare decision to stop and speak to the press after the win at Southampton and announce he is yet to receive an offer from the club.
Worryingly for Liverpool fans, Salah admitted he is "probably more out than in" and the Egyptian is allowed to speak to foreign clubs in January ahead of a free transfer in the summer.

But after Salah scored and assisted in the 2-0 win over Manchester City to move Liverpool nine points clear at the top of the table, fresh details about his situation emerged.
According to L'Equipe, via Get Football News France, Salah is in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a free transfer.
Salah has been heavily linked with the Ligue One giants in the past and it's claimed he has been in discussions with them, with the report stating that the Egypt captain is interested in a switch to the French capital.
A source told the outlet "there is now a good chance" that Salah will be playing at the Parc des Princes next season.
PSG are desperate to strengthen with a top wide player and looked at Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Jadon Sancho and Nico Williams in the summer.
With no major marquee players in the ranks after the departures of Neymar, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in recent times, the club would have no problem meeting Salah's wage demands.
It's claimed that Salah and Nasser Al-Khelaifi know each other fairly well and PSG feel this is the ideal time time to sign the former Chelsea man.
In response, PSG have denied L’Equipe’s report and believe is a negotiating tactic by Salah to get what he wants from Liverpool.
Though the Saudi Pro League has been touted as an option, it's claimed no club are actively trying to sign him at present.
The 32-year-old showed no signs of slowing down with a Man of the Match display against City on Sunday, and had a little dig at Jamie Carragher after recent criticism for going public about his contract.
When Virgil Van Dijk said he was "surprised" Carragher wouldn't give Salah the Man of the Match award, he replied: "Ah no, he [Carragher] wouldn't give it to me. Never. He wouldn't! I don't want to talk about this!".
Carragher made a reference to Roy Keane's altercation with an Ipswich Town fan, joking he would meet Salah "in the carpark".
Liverpool return to action on Wednesday when they take on Newcastle at St James' Park in the Premier League.
