Mohamed Salah Liverpool exit rumour: World Cup U-turn talk
Mohamed Salah’s announced Liverpool exit date (March 24, 2026) is being questioned after Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy hinted at a possible return. The speculation suggests Mohamed Salah’s “farewell” may not be final, despite Salah reportedly signing a two-year contract extension in 2025.
The 2017 Roma arrival (about €42m) produced Liverpool’s modern-era goalscoring record. Salah has won two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy, and his publicly stated plan is to play the 2026 World Cup in North America with Egypt, then decide his next step.
El-Shenawy’s comments—shared with Salah in the Egyptian squad—have become the main driver of the U-turn chatter. Former teammate Dejan Lovren also argued Liverpool do not intend to retain Salah, and unnamed insiders align with that view, implying the club may have already moved on despite the public hints.
With Arne Slot having departed and Andoni Iraola taking over, Liverpool’s coaching reset adds uncertainty to Mohamed Salah’s next decision window ahead of the tournament.

This is a football transfer/contract speculation story, not a cryptocurrency or macro policy development. Even though player news can sometimes drive short-lived retail sentiment in broad risk assets, there are no direct references to crypto markets, on-chain activity, exchanges, or token-related fundamentals.
Historically, headline-driven non-crypto news tends to have minimal sustained impact on crypto unless it intersects with regulation, major exchange events, or liquidity/security incidents. Here, the story centers on Mohamed Salah’s possible return to Liverpool after World Cup-related comments. That dynamic is unlikely to affect crypto volatility or stablecoin demand in any durable way.
Traders should treat this as a low-signal headline for crypto positioning—watch for unrelated market catalysts rather than assume causal effects from sports news.
