Mo Salah is leaving Liverpool with a very difficult transfer decision | OneFootball

Salah's form returning at the right time

He sometimes appears ill at ease in this Arne Slot system - too far from the box and isolated on the right wing. But 2026 has been a very good indicator that there is still plenty to offer from Salah - particularly when he gets stationed in and around the area.

He racked up his 254th goal for the Reds on Friday night against Wolves - having now scored more goals for the 20-time champions than any player has ever scored for Manchester United.

Salah’s got four goals and four assists in his last 10 games in all competitions - for a total of nine goals and eight assists (17 goal contributions overall) in 31 games.

That is not half bad; in fact it’s more than Bukayo Saka has managed for Arsenal this season in 38 matches.

Will Liverpool be tempted to sell Salah?

But it just goes to show how high Salah has set the bar over the last few seasons that this registers as a poor campaign by his standards.

It’s not perfect but it’s a start.

Salah is picking up form right as Liverpool need him in three competitions. The Premier League title is a distant dream - but there is still a Champions League place to play for.

Factor in the FA Cup and Champions League - two legitimate shots at a trophy - and you can see why this upturn in numbers should be welcomed.

Of course it remains to be seen what happens over the 33-year-old at the end of the season. It’s been speculated that he will be joining a team in MLS or else the Saudi Pro League as Richard Hughes considers alternative wide attackers.
