Liverpool may face challenges when Mohamed Salah decides to leave, according to teammate Luis Diaz. Salah, who has scored 214 goals for Liverpool since joining from Roma in 2017, is in the final year of his contract. Despite interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and Paris Saint-Germain, he hasn't agreed to new terms with Liverpool yet.

After Liverpool's 3-0 win over Manchester United, Salah hinted at a possible departure. In an interview with Sky Sports, he expressed his desire to enjoy the 2024-25 season as it might be his last at Anfield. He mentioned that no one from Liverpool has discussed a new contract with him and suggested that the club will decide his future.

Diaz, who benefited from two of Salah's assists during the match at Old Trafford, believes Liverpool will struggle without him. "It would be hard for us," said Diaz to Telemundo. "It would be hard for Liverpool." He added that losing a key player like Salah would be very difficult.

Salah's contributions have been significant. He scored his 10th goal in nine appearances at Old Trafford on Sunday. This achievement makes him only the second player to score 10 or more goals at a single away venue for Premier League clubs since 1992-93, following Alan Shearer who scored 10 at Elland Road.

Diaz acknowledged Salah's consistent performance and dedication. "He always gives his very best," Diaz said. "He has done it from the start." Diaz hopes Salah stays but respects whatever decision he makes.

Salah has either scored (11) or assisted (six) in 17 of Liverpool's last 23 Premier League goals against Manchester United. This record means he has more goal involvements against United than any other player in Premier League history.

The uncertainty surrounding Salah’s future leaves fans and teammates anxious about what lies ahead for Liverpool without their star player.
