Former Liverpool star Didi Hamann has explained why he does not believe Mohamed Salah will be leaving the club in the coming months. Salah's contract is set to expire at the end of the season as speculation continues to swirl about his long-term future.

Talks remain underway between Liverpool and Salah's representatives, which includes his agent, Ramy Abbas. It remains to be seen if an agreement will be reached between the Egyptian and the Anfield hierarchy, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk also out of contract at the end of the season.

As things stand, Salah would be able to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside England from next Wednesday, when the January transfer window officially opens. Hamann believes that, despite the speculation, he can only see one outcome when it comes to Salah's future at Liverpool.

"Any club would be foolish not to take Mohamed Salah," Hamann told BoyleSports about Premier League Odds. "Typically you would have to be careful about strikers or offensive players hitting the age of 32. With Salah there are no issues.

"The question will be, after having such a great time at Liverpool will he want to play anywhere else? He has played at Chelsea previously - which didn’t work out for him.

"This is something only he could decide. Personally, I can’t see him in anything other than a Liverpool shirt.

"I’m sure a lot of teams would love to take him. I would give him a couple of years and then would like to see what happens because anything can happen at his age.

"The way he has been speaking, I don’t think he has any intention to leave. From what I hear, both Salah and Liverpool are negotiating and I think he will stay."

Hamann also spoke about the idea of Salah moving to Bayern Munich should the forward decide to leave Liverpool. Sadio Mane left the Reds to join the Bundesliga giants in 2022 in a £35million deal, but spent just one year in Germany before moving to Saudi Arabia to sign for Al Nassr.

Even though he does not think Salah will leave Liverpool, Hamann believes that the Reds No.11 would enjoy a successful career at Bayern should he choose to pursue a new challenge.

"Bayern had a lot of problems, the manager had to leave," Hamann said. "It can always happen in football. You can set your mind on something and it doesn’t always go to plan.

"It started really well for Sadio Mane, he was scoring goals. I didn’t know if he was happy here - however he did say many times that it was his dream to play for Bayern Munich. I don’t think it had anything to with Mane but rather the situation at the club.

"I don’t think Salah will have these problems because he scores goals and is never injured. He will be the perfect player for any club."
