Is Mohamed Salah PSG Move Dependent on Neymar Exit?

Mohamed Salah, whose contract with Liverpool expires in June, has been linked with a move to PSG, but his future could hinge on Neymar departure. PSG is interested in Salah, but the club is also pursuing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli. Meanwhile, Saudi club Al-Hilal aims to sign Salah as Neymar potential replacement, given Neymar injury struggles and lacklustre performances.

With the January transfer window in full swing, Mohamed Salah’s future has become a topic of intense speculation. The Egyptian forward, whose contract with Liverpool expires in June 2025, is a key target for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Despite initial denials from the Parisian club, PSG’s Qatari ownership remains keen on bringing Salah to the French capital. However, the major obstacle in PSG’s pursuit is the financial might of Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal, which is also in the race to sign Salah.

Al-Hilal views Salah as a potential replacement for Neymar, whose time at the Saudi club is likely coming to an end. Neymar, who suffered significant injury setbacks after a costly transfer, has played a limited number of matches, and Al-Hilal is reportedly not interested in renewing his contract. With Salah’s consistent performance and professional lifestyle, he is seen as a more reliable and marketable figure in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, PSG faces competition from Saudi Arabia’s wealth and may struggle to compete in terms of financial incentives. Salah’s potential move to either PSG or Al-Hilal could depend heavily on Neymar’s departure, with both clubs eager to secure the 32-year-old’s services.
