Gary Neville is the latest pundit to weigh in on Mohamed Salah's contract situation at Liverpool
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has been speaking about Mohamed Salah's contract situation at Liverpool.
Salah has entered the final two years of his current deal and negotiations remain ongoing between the club and his representatives.
And former Manchester United defender Neville, believes Salah's long-term future may lie elsewhere.
"I don’t think he will stay at Liverpool for the rest of his career," he said on Sky Sports' Overlap forum . "It's my personal view. It’s always been that view but I could be wrong.
"The Premier League would be weaker if he left. I just think you look at someone like Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Kylian Mbappe, it’s not all about the money.
“I think Salah’s got to experience Real Madrid, the Bernabeu. Real Madrid are going to come back, by the way.
"I know it's not great at the moment at Barcelona and Madrid but Salah is similar to those I’ve just mentioned, I think he has to have that on his CV at the end of his career.
"I think he's done an unbelievable job at Liverpool. I've just always felt he wants a Paris, a Real Madrid, a Barcelona and I think he’ll go and get it. But I might be wrong!"

As part of a debate, other pundits on the panel, Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes, disagreed with Neville's thinking.
Scholes insists that the Egyptian 'must stay at Liverpool' if he's to become one of the best players in the world.
The former Manchester United midfielder argued: "They [Barcelona and Real Madrid] are not in as high esteem as they were two or three years ago.
"If he wants to be the best player on the planet, he has to stay at Liverpool. He has to stay in England.
"The best players are here, it's the best league in the world now. It’s got the three best coaches in the world, with the best teams.
"So if he wants to be the best player on the planet, he has to stay here and Liverpool have to pay him."
