PSG are set to take advantage of the opportunity to sign Liverpool's €55m-rated star due to his contract situation, according to a report.

In recent weeks, speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah's uncertain future has intensified, with the Liverpool star yet to clarify his situation. As his contract with the Reds approaches its conclusion, whispers about a possible exit are growing louder.

Liverpool are becoming increasingly aware that retaining Salah beyond this season is becoming more challenging. The 32-year-old forward has been a crucial figure for the Anfield side, consistently leading their attacking line throughout his tenure.

With six goals and five assists in just nine matches this season, Salah remains integral to manager Arne Slot's plans.

With his contract expiring in June 2025, discussions about potential replacements for Salah in the Merseyside squad have surfaced, along with a flurry of transfer speculation.

While Saudi Arabia was initially seen as a likely destination for the Egyptian forward, The Sun (h/t Fichajes) now reports that another European giant is ready to enter the fray: Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG are reportedly keen to exploit this opportunity to secure the services of Salah. Given his exceptional quality and skill set, the forward still appears capable of performing at the highest level for several more years.

The Parisians, always on the lookout for elite talent to bolster their squad, would view Salah as a prime target.

Salah's departure would not only mark the end of an era for Liverpool but also significantly alter the dynamics of the Premier League itself.

According to Transfermarkt, Mohamed Salah's market value remains relatively high at €55 million, despite his age.

However, the report from The Sun does not align with the evidence available. This situation reflects PSG's evident new transfer policy under Luis Enrique, which focuses on developing talent rather than simply buying established stars. Clear examples of this approach include young players like Vitinha, Joao Neves, Warren Zaire-Emery, Bradley Barcola, and Desire Doue, among others.

That said, the possibility of signing Salah on a free transfer could be a decisive factor, provided the Egyptian's salary demands are not excessive. Only time will tell how this situation unfolds.
