From Superstar To Controversy: The Unraveling Of Mohamed Salah At Liverpool.

From global icon to a figure at the centre of a storm, Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool story has entered its most fragile and contentious chapter, transforming a once-unquestioned hero into the focal point of one of the club’s most divisive modern crises. What began as a fairytale of goals, trophies and individual records has, in late 2025, turned into a tense standoff involving public criticism, broken trust, tactical clashes and an uncertain future under Arne Slot. For Liverpool and for Salah, this is the uncomfortable unraveling of a once-perfect marriage.​ The making of an Anfield superstar When Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah from Roma in 2017, few predicted just how dramatically he would redefine the club’s attacking identity and global appeal. He exploded in his first season, setting a new record for most goals in a 38‑game Premier League campaign and instantly becoming the face of Jürgen Klopp’s high‑octane “heavy metal” football. The “Egyptian King” worship at Anfield was not a marke...

In the summer of 2025, the top 10 Bundesliga players' contracts expire.


A number of well-known Bundesliga players are nearing the end of their contracts as January draws near.

Here are the top 10 Bundesliga players who are currently scheduled to become free agents in the summer of 2025, ranked by value according to Transfer market:

10. Hoffenheim's Jacob Bruun Larsen Value at market: €6 million

The former Borussia Dortmund player has played more and produced some outstanding performances since Christian Ilzer became coach of Hoffenheim. It's still unclear if he will sign a new deal with Hoffenheim or move on to another team.

9. FC Bayern's Thomas Müller Value at market: €6 million

The Bayern veteran has not yet stated if he will sign a new short-term deal with the team he has played for his whole career. Alternatively, if he chooses to further his career, a transfer to the MLS might be an option.

8. Wolfsburg's Ridle Baku (Value at market: €7,000,000)

For some time now, there have been rumors that Baku, who can play both right-back and right-midfield, is searching for a new challenge this summer. The 26-year-old, who has been with Wolfsburg since 2020, has been linked to a move to Galatasaray.

7. Ruben Vargas, Augsburg (€7 million on the market)

Despite reports that Sevilla, Villarreal, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Eintracht Frankfurt were interested, Augsburg has confirmed that Ruben Vargas will not be extending his contract. There may be a shift in January.

6. Eric Dier, FC Bayern (€8 million on the market)

Thomas Tuchel gave Dier a fair amount of playing time when he joined Bayern, but the Englishman hasn't played much since Vincent Kompany took over because the Belgian coach doesn't like his lack of speed. It looks extremely likely to be a summer exit.

5. Hoffenheim's Tom Bischof Value at market: €12 million

Bischof has drawn interest from almost all of the Bundesliga's major teams after an extremely successful season thus far, with Bayern Munich reportedly leading the battle to sign him. Hoffenheim is making every effort to convince him to stay, but it might not be easy.

4. Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah (market value: €30 million)

Last summer, Tah expressed interest in joining Bayern Munich, but Leverkusen and the Bavarians were unable to agree on a transfer deal. Although the center back still wants to depart, Barcelona seems to have surpassed Bayern in the competition to sign him.

3. FC Bayern's Leroy Sané (market value: €45 million)

Although Sané has stated that he is willing to remain at Bayern, there are increasing concerns regarding his future there. According to recent sources, the winger is expected to go since he needs to be more reliable in order to land a new contract.

2. FC Bayern's Alphonso Davies (market value: €50 million)

Alphonso Davies and Bayern Munich have been negotiating a new deal for a while, but they haven't been able to come to an agreement because of salary disputes. The future of the Canadian international is still up in the air, despite recent reports that the parties have moved closer to a deal.

1. FC Bayern's Joshua Kimmich (market value: €50 million)

Given how important the Germany captain is to Vincent Kompany's squad, Bayern is eager to sign Kimmich to a new contract. The 29-year-old has undoubtedly put himself in a good negotiation position, and if the Bavarians want to keep him, they might be prepared to drop their original plan to lower his salary.
