Mohamed Salah has been in as fine form as ever this season, registering the most combined goals and assists in the league with 14.
However, with the Egyptian's deal with the club coming to an end in the summer, a plethora of clubs are beginning to show interest in securing his signature.
No contract renewal has been agreed between Liverpool and Salah as of yet, with the wideman allegedly wanting a two-year extension on his current contract. Although this would cost the club a sizeable sum of money, it is hard to turn down the demands of the league's leading goal contributor.
If Salah were to move away, it seems that Saudi Arabia would be his destination. Any Saudi Arabian team is currently the bookies' favourite to pry Salah away from Anfield at 7/4.
Mohamed Salah next club odds
While multiple clubs appear to be entering the race to sign the 32-year-old, staying at Liverpool still seems the most likely result of the current contract dispute.

Current favourites
Stay at Liverpool – 4/6
With the Reds top of the league, it is hard to see why anyone would want to leave Liverpool at the moment.
Salah has allegedly pushed for a new contract and desperately wants to stay at Anfield. Despite his age, the 32-year-old is performing better than ever, and turning down the opportunity to offer him a new contract would seem a poor choice from the club's hierarchy.
A war of words had seemingly begun between Salah and manager Arne Slot last week, after the Egyptian stated that he was “more out than in” when questioned about his position at the club. A new contract has yet to be formally offered, despite the Egyptian hero making it painstakingly clear that he would be delighted to stay at Anfield.
This was followed by further comments from the winger after Liverpool's 2-0 victory over title rivals Manchester City. Salah stated that he believed it may be his last game against City at Anfield. Slot responded to the remarks by joking that Salah must know some more information about the investigation into the Cityzens' 115 financial breaches.
All in all, although still favoured to remain with Liverpool, a genuine stalemate has emerged with regards to the Egyptian being offered a new contract.
With 366 appearances and 221 goals for the Reds, it is hard to imagine Salah playing anywhere else. Although the current scenario may not be appealing, punters should still back the Egyptian to remain on Merseyside.
Any Saudi Arabian team – 7/4
In terms of a move away from the club, Saudi Arabia seems the most likely place to take Salah on. Approaching the end of his career, a substantial pay cheque could convince the Egyptian to move on, rather than continue playing at the top level.
Al-Ittihad had a reported £150 million offer turned down for Salah. Although this an eye-watering amount, with the club's current success, one can see the reason behind the decision. With Man City's dominance beginning to wane, Liverpool coach Arne Slot could use Salah to take the Premier League title in his first season.
At 7/4, though, a move to Saudi Arabia is certainly at the forefront of gambling options. With clubs having already bid for Salah, and no contract agreed, a move to the Middle East could be on the cards at the end of the season.
PSG – 20/1
PSG's odds of securing Salah's services have slipped greatly in recent weeks, moving from 10/1 to 20/1.
It has been reported that there have been no negotiations between the French giants and Salah's camp, and the feeling is that the Egyptian's agent may be using PSG as leverage towards getting a new contract for his client.
Luis Enrique's side have struggled greatly in Europe this season, managing only a solitary win from their five fixtures. Their only win came in a 1-0 victory over Girona, where the game's singular goal came in the form of Paulo Gazzaniga inadvertently finding his own net in the dying minutes.
This is hardly encouraging viewing for PSG fans, and a new winger may be exactly what they need to add to their meagre goal tally of three in the Champions League so far.
However, at 20/1, it would seem Salah may just be a pipe dream at the moment, as his contract dispute with Liverpool continues to hot up.
