Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has been thrown into serious doubt following reports of a breakdown in his relationship with manager Arne Slot and his exclusion from the squad for the Champions League clash against Inter. IlBianconero report that the unexpected twist could open the door to potential transfer moves — and Juventus are among the clubs naturally mentioned in connection with the Egyptian star.
A Shock Rift With Liverpool
The tension between Salah and the Merseyside club marks the most turbulent moment in their relationship since his arrival in 2017. Despite being under contract until June 2027, the 32-year-old’s position has suddenly become less secure, with speculation suggesting a premature end to his legendary spell at Anfield could be on the horizon.
Salah has been one of Liverpool’s icons for nearly a decade, rewriting records and shaping the team’s modern identity. However, if the fallout becomes irreparable, Liverpool could listen to offers, especially as the forward would enter the final 18 months of his contract next summer.
Could Juventus Afford Salah?
The prospect of Salah in black and white stripes is undoubtedly exciting for Juventus supporters but complicated from a financial standpoint. With a current salary of around €24 million per season, the Egyptian forward earns well beyond Juventus’ wage structure. Even if Liverpool were open to negotiating a moderate transfer fee owing to his age and contract status, Salah’s personal terms would remain a major obstacle.
Juventus are in the process of reshaping their financial model under sporting executive Damien Comolli, focusing on younger, developing players with sustainable wages. Signing Salah would therefore represent a dramatic departure from their current strategy — though such opportunities are rarely dismissed outright when a world-class star becomes available.
Other Possible Destinations
Few clubs in Europe could realistically meet Salah’s salary demands. Paris Saint-Germain have previously been linked with him and could return with interest, depending on Kylian Mbappé’s long-term situation. Yet, given Salah’s age and earning power, the most concrete suitors might again come from Saudi Arabia, where several clubs — including Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal — remain keen on bringing marquee names to the Saudi Pro League.
At 33, Salah still has plenty to offer at the top level, yet a move to the Middle East could appeal if he seeks a new challenge and a final lucrative contract.
What Happens Next
For now, Liverpool supporters and observers alike are waiting to see whether the rift can be repaired. If not, Salah’s next destination will become one of the biggest stories of the upcoming transfer windows. As for Juventus, the dream of signing him might be more fantasy than feasible plan — but football, as always, has a way of surprising everyone.
