A Former Club Legend Predicts Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool Exit as the Pharaoh Fights for Survival at AFCON
Mohamed Salah’s future is back under the spotlight just as Egypt battle at AFCON. A trusted voice from Anfield believes the end may already be written.
A tense backdrop at Anfield
The future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool has once again become a major talking point. While the Egyptian forward represents his country at the Africa Cup of Nations, a former Liverpool legend has suggested that Salah’s time at Anfield may be nearing its conclusion.
All the excitement of AFCON 2025 is lived exclusively on beIN SPORTS.
Recent comments made by the forward before joining Egypt hinted at a fractured relationship with the club’s hierarchy, reopening wounds that have lingered beneath the surface for months.
Carragher: from harsh critic to bold predictor
The man to put a potential timeline on Salah’s exit is Jamie Carragher, a Liverpool icon turned pundit. Carragher has never shied away from controversy when discussing Salah, previously accusing him of deliberately using media appearances to apply pressure on the club at sensitive moments.
At the time, Carragher argued that such statements were carefully calculated rather than emotional outbursts, designed to strengthen the player’s negotiating position.
A shift in tone — and in legacy
Despite those past criticisms, Carragher’s tone has softened. He now openly acknowledges Salah as one of the greatest players in Liverpool and Premier League history, deserving of a farewell that reflects his status.
In his view, the timing of the AFCON 2025 has provided a welcome pause, allowing emotions to cool while the next chapter quietly takes shape.
The “perfect farewell” already imagined
Carragher believes Liverpool simply cannot afford to lose Salah during the January transfer window, particularly given squad injuries and competitive demands.
Instead, he predicts an emotional and carefully orchestrated goodbye at the end of the season, with Salah receiving what he described as a “perfect, choreographed send-off” in the club’s final match — a farewell befitting a modern Anfield legend.
Focused on the present, aware of the future
For now, Liverpool remain locked in the battle to secure Champions League qualification, with their Premier League title hopes fading.
Salah, meanwhile, is fully focused on leading Egypt at AFCON, carrying the weight of a nation’s expectations. Between continental ambition and mounting uncertainty in England, the Pharaoh’s journey appears to be heading toward a farewell that feels increasingly inevitable.
