Liverpool fans think they know where Mo Salah’s future lies after he posted an ominous story to his Instagram account.
Salah, 32, is currently in the final year of his Liverpool contract, with the situation still unresolved.
If no new deal has been signed, on January 1, 2025, the forward will be able to negotiate pre-contract agreements with clubs from outside of the Premier League.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Salah has been in fine form - contributing with eight goals and six assists in 11 league games as the Reds sit at the top of the division-leading second-place Manchester City by five points heading into game week 12.
On Thursday evening, the former Chelsea man posted a cryptic story to his Instagram account, which appeared to show quotes written in Arabic.
A translation which emerged on Twitter put the Arabic words into English.

“Research has shown that the majority of human decisions are based on emotional, rather logical, factors,” it read.
“Often times, we feel good about something, we make a decision based on that, and we can’t always explain why we did it.
“We just feel like it was a good idea at the time.”

“(Information) 20% of our decisions depend on logical analysis," the passage continued.
“Influence 80% of our decisions are based on emotional convictions.”
Whether the post is linked to his current situation at Anfield is unclear, but fans will be keen to see the debacle cleared up soon.
Salah is one of three key Liverpool players whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the season, alongside Virgil van Dijk and Trent-Alexander Arnold.

In September, after a 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford, the Egyptian issued an update on his future.
"I had a good summer and had a long time to myself to try to stay positive because, as you know, it's my last year at the club,” Salah explained when speaking to Sky Sports.
"I just want to enjoy it and I don't want to think about it.
"I feel like I'm free to play football, and then we'll see what happens next year.

"I was coming to the game today thinking it could be the last time.
"Nobody at the club has spoken to me yet about a new contract, so I just play this last season and then see at the end of the season.
"It's not up to me, but nobody talk to me about a contract with the club. We'll see."
