As the transfer rumor mill spins into high gear, PSG has once again found itself at the center of speculation.

This time, the focus is on Liverpool’s star forward Mohamed Salah. With his contract set to expire in June, Salah’s future is a hot topic, and PSG appears to be a potential destination.

Reports have surfaced suggesting that the Egyptian icon may be open to exploring opportunities beyond Anfield, with PSG emerging as a strong contender.

However, the rumors have sparked mixed reactions from fans. Is Salah ready to swap Merseyside for the bright lights of Paris, or is this just another tactic in the high-stakes world of contract negotiations?

These days have been packed with speculation, from PSG players to potential departures and transfers.

And with the match against Saint-Etienne just around the corner, Luis Enrique has had a busy agenda, filled with thoughts and plans.

According to L’Equipe, PSG has initiated discussions with Salah’s representatives, fueling talk of a possible transfer.

The 32-year-old forward, who is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement, is reportedly considering a move to the French capital.

However, PSG has denied the claims, with a club spokesperson telling L’Equipe, ‘It’s not true.’

Meanwhile, Football Insider reports that Salah is pushing for a contract extension at Liverpool, seeking a deal that would keep him at the club until 2027.

This could mean the PSG rumors are part of a broader strategy to strengthen his position at the negotiation table.

Football expert Jonathan Johnson weighed in on the speculation during the PSG Talking podcast. “I think it’s clear that Salah wants to stay at Liverpool. It’s difficult for any club—whether Liverpool, PSG, or another team entirely—to commit to more than two years given his current form.”


Why Mohamed Salah’s future matters

Salah’s current season at Liverpool has been nothing short of remarkable.

However, the forward’s age—32—adds complexity. Clubs must weigh the risk of investing in a player whose form may decline in future seasons.

Johnson compared Salah’s situation to that of former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane, whose post-Liverpool journey highlighted the challenges of maintaining peak performance.

For now, the Parisian club will focus its attention on the potential arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
