Mo Salah's future at Liverpool remains under the microscope as speculation regarding a potential departure from Anfield persists, with bookmakers now weighing in on the situation.

Previously, Salah has been connected with a lucrative switch to the Saudi Pro League, and despite penning fresh terms with the Reds last April, the rumors have persisted. The 33-year-old has appeared in both of Liverpool's recent Premier League games against Bournemouth and Newcastle - contributing an assist in each encounter - following his return from Africa Cup of Nations heartbreak with Egypt.

The winger was in exceptional form last season, netting 34 goals across 52 appearances - including 29 strikes in the Premier League - as Liverpool claimed the league crown in Arne Slot's inaugural campaign.

Nevertheless, it has been a forgettable season thus far for the Egyptian, managing only six goals and six assists from 24 outings across all competitions.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: "Deadline Day always brings dramatic twists in the market, and today all the momentum is behind Mohamed Salah potentially making a late move to the Saudi Pro League.

"We've cut the price on the Egyptian going to any Saudi club into 11/8 from 7/4, which makes it the most likely deal to take place today.

"Raheem Sterling's proposed move to Fulham is another one attracting strong interest, and that's been backed into 6/4 as the Cottagers look to take advantage of his free-agent status.

"There are still plenty of eye-catching possibilities further down the list too, including Micky van de Ven to Liverpool and Ruben Neves to Manchester United, both at 2/1, so it could be a frantic final few hours."

No formal bid has been confirmed as yet, and there has been some uncertainty surrounding the potential transfer after clubs in the Saudi Pro League shifted their transfer focus toward young, emerging talents rather than the established elite in the European leagues.

Yet these rumors persist, and according to reports, the league still regards Salah as a priority transfer target despite a change in policy.
