The Egyptian striker’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season.
Furthermore, Liverpool has yet to secure a renewal as discussions emerge about potential moves to Saudi Arabia.
Salah has hinted that he may be reaching the end of his tenure at Anfield.
Moreover, he is not the only player from Liverpool potentially leaving on a free transfer.
Reports indicate that Trent Alexander-Arnold might be transferring to Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid.
At the same time, Virgil van Dijk is attracting interest from various European clubs.
Despite this, Carragher believes Van Dijk has exhibited admirable composure by avoiding public discussion on the issue.
He advised Salah to emulate his captain’s approach, especially after the striker’s recent cryptic social media post featuring a picture with Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold.

Carragher remarked on Sky Sports: “Ooh, I’m not sure. What I can say is that Van Dijk has come through this whole situation as the captain of the club with my utmost admiration.
“It’s because of his conduct, his performances on the pitch, and his leadership skills.

“His approach was exemplary, as he avoided getting involved in surrounding controversies. This moment is undeniably crucial for all three players.
“However, rather than scrutinizing Trent Alexander-Arnold or Mo Salah, I’d like to highlight Virgil van Dijk.
“He has shown genuine leadership. He has addressed questions adeptly and remains committed to winning the league while giving his all for Liverpool. Let’s hope he decides to stay.
“I believe the others could gain valuable lessons from Virgil van Dijk’s example.”
Carragher’s remarks drew a reaction from Salah on social media.
Salah humorously replied: “I’m starting to think you’re fixated on me.”
Carragher quickly responded: “I’ve always been fixated on you. I hope that fixation extends into next season.”
Fans reacted to their lighthearted exchange, with one saying: “No way Salah actually tweeted this.”
Another added: “Did NOT see that coming.”
One fan advised: “Keep your focus on the game.”
Another remarked: “Thought this was fake, but it’s the real deal!”
