Mohamed Salah, a star player for Liverpool, is willing to let his contract at Anfield expire before joining a Premier League rival on a free transfer in 2023.
Salah’s contract at Liverpool expires in a year, and both parties have been unable to agree on an extension.
The Egyptian captain wants to increase his weekly wage to around £400,000 a week, believing that his performance warrants it.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is concerned that breaking its wage structure will result in even more problems in the future.
According to The Athletic, in the scenario Salah leaves next summer, his preference is to remain in England and he’s open to joining a Premier League rival.
The likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, would all be desperate to sign Salah, who will turn 30 later this month if he was available on the open market in 2023.
The report added that face-to-face talks over an extension last occurred in December and that little progress has been made in the last six months.
Salah has netted 156 goals in 254 games for Liverpool since joining the Premier League giants from Roma in 2017.
