According to a column in The Telegraph, Liverpool has no plans to organize a farewell ceremony for Mohamed Salah at Anfield this Saturday. This strategic decision is reportedly aimed at safeguarding the potential transfer fee for the Egyptian forward.

Several Saudi Arabian clubs are understood to be pursuing Salah "at any cost," and formal bids are anticipated in the coming months. Despite the high level of interest from the Saudi Pro League, Liverpool has yet to receive any substantial, concrete offers for the player.

Liverpool's official stance is that Salah is under contract until 2027, and the club is determined to prevent any potential buyer from assuming his departure is inevitable. The club fears that a public, on-field farewell to fans would significantly undermine any negotiations regarding a transfer fee. Liverpool is resolute that if Salah were to leave, they are entitled to a significant fee.
