Mohamed Salah agent dismisses Fenerbahce transfer approach, insisting the Egypt star will either stay at Liverpool or consider a move to Saudi Arabia.
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has returned to the spotlight this week. Reports from Turkey claimed Fenerbahce made an approach for the Egypt forward. His agent has now moved quickly to clarify the situation.
Salah, 33, remains under contract at Anfield until the summer of 2027. Despite recent speculation, his camp insists his options are limited. For now, Turkey is not one of them.
Fenerbahce officials reportedly held talks with Salah’s long-time agent Ramy Abbas. The Turkish club explored the possibility of a January move. They believed Salah could be open to a new challenge.
That idea was swiftly dismissed. Abbas made it clear the Super Lig is not under consideration. According to reports, the response was firm and direct.
Abbas reportedly told Fenerbahce that Salah has only two realistic paths. He will either stay at Liverpool or move to Saudi Arabia. No other destinations are being entertained at this stage.
The statement has cooled speculation around a move to Istanbul. It also reinforces long standing links to the Saudi Pro League. Those links have persisted for more than a year despite the Egyptian signing a new contract at Anfield last summer.
Salah’s standing at Liverpool has changed this season. Under new head coach Arne Slot, his role has been less central. He has rotated more often than in previous campaigns.
The winger publicly voiced frustration earlier in the season. He suggested he had been unfairly treated by the club. That comment intensified exit rumours across Europe and the Middle East.
From a performance view, Salah’s output has dipped. He has made 20 appearances in all competitions this season. Across those games, he has five goals and four assists.
Those figures remain solid but fall below his usual standards. Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has been one of the league’s most consistent scorers. The current drop has fueled debate about his long-term role.
Salah is among Liverpool’s highest earners. He reportedly earns around fourteen million euros net per year. That salary limits interest from most European clubs.
Saudi Arabia remains the exception. Clubs there can meet both salary and transfer demands. That makes them the most credible alternative if Salah leaves Anfield.
Liverpool are reluctant to lose Salah in January. A midseason exit would weaken an already inconsistent attack. The club is also managing injuries in key forward areas.
At the same time, uncertainty benefits no one. If Salah’s role and his relationship with the manager does not improve, speculation will grow. Slot and the club hierarchy face a delicate decision.
Salah’s reduced minutes have been a major talking point. Tactical changes under Slot have shifted responsibility across the front line. Younger players and summer signings have also taken on larger roles.
Despite that, Salah remains decisive in big moments. His experience and leadership still matter in tight games. That influence explains why Liverpool are keen to keep him.
Salah is currently representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. His focus remains on international duty for now. Transfer talk is expected to intensify as the January transfer window approaches.
For the moment, his agent’s message is clear. Fenerbahce is out of the picture. Liverpool or Saudi Arabia remain the only options on the table.
