Since his return from the 2025 AFCON, Mohamed Salah has been linked with Saudi Arabian sides Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. At Liverpool, Virgil van Dijk is eager to see the Egyptian remain in Reds colors next season.

Mohamed Salah was at odds with Liverpool before leaving for the 2025 AFCON. Now, he is at the center of transfer rumors, with strong interest from Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Nevertheless, the Egyptian star still enjoys the support of Virgil van Dijk. The Reds' captain hopes the Egyptian winger will stay at the club this summer.

"I think Mo is still just as important for us. He remains a leader and, personally, as captain, it's vital for me to have him on the pitch because his presence benefits the whole team. I always want Mo to stay because he's a good friend and we've been through good times and bad together for so many years," the Dutchman told the press.
