Salah, 33, announced in March that he would leave Anfield as a free agent this summer, bringing an end to a nine-year spell that delivered two Premier League titles and the 2019 Champions League.
The winger's final season at Liverpool was difficult, marked by public friction with then-manager Arne Slot and comments from Salah accusing the club's hierarchy of "throwing him under the bus."
Now with Egypt's squad in Spokane, Washington, ahead of the Pharaohs' World Cup opener against Belgium, Salah's club future has resurfaced as a talking point despite the apparent finality of his exit.
Goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy, speaking to Egyptian broadcaster ON Time Sports, said the prospect of leaving Liverpool had taken an emotional toll on his international team-mate.
"The prospect of leaving Liverpool has affected Mo psychologically, but the situation might change and he could still stay with the team," El-Shenawy said.
He added that Salah himself remains undecided.
"He even told me that he doesn't know anything about his future yet," El-Shenawy said.
The comments come at a moment of significant change at Anfield, with Slot departing at the end of the season and Andoni Iraola arriving as Liverpool's new head coach.
That managerial shift introduces a fresh dynamic into Salah's situation, raising the possibility that a new voice in the dugout could reopen a conversation that appeared closed just months ago.
Salah's representative, Ramy Abbas Issa, has reportedly urged caution around the speculation, with reports describing an effort to dampen the growing noise surrounding his client's future.
For his part, Salah has consistently said he will not rush a decision while focused on the World Cup, where Egypt are aiming to build on his role as the squad's most recognisable figure.
"I am still watching, I have time now, I am going to the World Cup and then everything will be clear," Salah said before departing for the tournament.
He added that any decision before the tournament's conclusion would depend entirely on the options available to him. "If there is a good opportunity before it I will decide, and if there is no one, I will make my decision after the World Cup," Salah said.
Whatever the outcome, Salah's situation illustrates how a seemingly settled exit can be reopened once the emotional dust from a difficult final season begins to clear, particularly with a managerial change offering the prospect of a different chapter.
