New Salah update sends Liverpool fans into meltdown

The word on every football fans’ mouth right now is what would happen between Liverpool and Mohamed Salah at the end of the current season.

With the Egyptian’s contract set to expire in June, rumors have began swirling about the potential future of the former Chelsea forward post the 2024/25 campaign, and it appears Mohamed Salah may have given fans a hint.

The Reds’ no. 11 recent updated his Instagram story with a post that has left a lot of Liverpool fans buzzing with speculation about his contract situation.

The enigmatic post—a video of incense burning, with white smoke wafting in the air—has sent fans scrambling to decode its meaning.

For Liverpool supporters, the symbolism was crystal clear: white smoke traditionally signifies agreement or resolution, sparking rumors that Salah’s contract extension with the Reds might be imminent.

“Surely not a coincidence,” one fan exclaimed, connecting the post to David Ornstein’s fresh report in The Athletic. According to Ornstein, Liverpool have tabled a formal contract offer for Salah, alongside extensions for Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

While no signatures have been confirmed, optimism is reportedly growing within the club that all three players will stay at Anfield.

Salah’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, with the 31-year-old free to negotiate with foreign clubs in January. His candid admission last month—that he’s “probably more out than in”—had left fans on edge, but recent developments suggest a breakthrough might be near.

The timing of Salah’s Instagram post wasn’t lost on fans, who flooded social media with theories:

• “White smoke means it’s done!”
• “Ancient Egyptian smoke signals = new two-year deal.”
• “Salah is definitely telling us something here.”

Salah has shown no signs of slowing down despite approaching his 33rd birthday, delivering 15 goals in 21 appearances this season.

However, reports suggest negotiations have been complicated by disagreements over the length of the contract. Salah, known for his intense work ethic and fitness levels, reportedly believes he can continue performing at the top for years to come.

With 226 goals in 370 games for Liverpool since his arrival in 2017, Salah has been a transformative figure for the club. Whether his cryptic Instagram post is the signal fans are hoping for remains to be seen, but all eyes will be on Anfield as the saga unfolds.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are gearing up for a Champions League clash against Girona on Tuesday after their weekend Merseyside derby with Everton was postponed due to Storm Darragh.
