Mohamed Salah future for Liverpool don begin cause serious talk again as him goal form don drop badly this season. The Egyptian king wey normally sure for goals, don look frustrated for most parts of this 2025/26 campaign — only three goals in 11 matches for the Reds. Na sharp contrast to wetin we dey see before.
Him latest poor show na for the 2-1 loss against Manchester United, wey make am even more painful because Liverpool bin need win badly, yet Salah no fit deliver before dem sub am commot. Last season, the guy contribute to 47 goals.
This season e dey look like say him no go even near half of that — and remember say AFCON go still run between December and January. That one fit scatter am more.
Na why talk don start say Liverpool dey consider wetin dem wan do with the 33-year-old forward wey don carry the club for years now.
TPB VERDICT: Liverpool Don Decide Salah Matter
According to Football Insider report, Liverpool no get any plan to sell Salah for January or even summer. Despite the goal drought, Arne Slot still see am as key player for him team. Dem no ready to cash in on am now. The guy still get heavy say for the squad — and him influence for dressing room still strong.
Salah sign new contract for April wey go keep am for Anfield till 2027. Meaning say even if performance drop small, Liverpool still dey see am as their main man both on and off the pitch. The decision go later depend on Salah himself — whether he wan stay till the end of him deal or try find new challenge before then.
HOW BAD THE FORM DROP BE?
Stat-wise, the drop clear like daylight. According to data from Fbref, Salah shots per 90 minutes this season na 1.77 — compared to last season wey e be 3.23. That na big drop for person wey dey always shoot on sight. Even him shots on target don fall from 1.33 per 90 to just 0.63 this season. That na serious reduction for striker of him level.
E no end there. Him shot-creating actions per 90 minutes drop to 2.65, the lowest we don see since he land for Anfield.
And goal involvements per 90 too don fall to just 0.38. For comparison, the last time he even close to that level na between 2019 and 2021 when Liverpool squad still dey transition small.
Dem say part of the reason be say Liverpool attacking setup don change — Trent Alexander-Arnold don leave, Diogo Jota tragically pass, and new players still dey try blend in. But even with that, Salah own decline still be the most visible of all. E no dey move defenders again like before, e dey shoot less, and the hunger no too dey show for body. Na wetin dey worry fans.
TPB TAKEAWAY
Sometimes even great players dey hit rough patch, but Salah matter dey different because of how consistent e don be for years. The body language, the stats, the sharpness — all point say the guy need serious reset. Whether na tactical problem or mental fatigue, Liverpool need find solution sharp-sharp.
For now, dem no wan sell am. But football no dey wait for anybody. If the form no change soon, talk about Salah exit go turn louder by the day. The guy still get quality, but time no dey on him side again.
