Mohamed Salah continues to provide a magical show for Liverpool after being the key player in the Reds’s 2-0 win against Manchester City at Anfield.
The Egyptian assisted the opening goal of Cody Gakpo and scored from the penalty spot to double the lead and increase the gap to 11 points against Pep Guardiola’s side.
In his eighth season at Liverpool, Mo Salah has scored 11 goals and provided seven assists to the Reds, only one goal less than the top goalscorer, Erling Haaland, who has only one goal in his last four league appearances against Southampton.
As we know, the Egyptian King’s contract with Liverpool runs out in the summer of 2025 and there has been nothing confirmed by the board if the club wants to renew with their best goalscorer.
Mohamed Salah himself has declared that this is his last year with the club after the 3-0 win against Manchester United. He also mentioned after the 3-2 win against Southampton that he feels more out than in about his future in Merseyside.
After the 2-0 win against Manchester City, Mo Salah spoke to the media saying that he had the feeling that this could be the last match against Pep Guardiola’s side and that he enjoys every minute at the club for the moment.
These words caught the attention of Liverpool’s former player, Jamie Carragher, who thinks that it was selfish of the Egyptian to mention his situation while the team is fighting in the Premier League title race.
For the moment, Mohamed Salah is the highest-earned player in Liverpool, after signing a three-year contract at Anfield worth around £350,000 a week, but as time passes, the Egyptian could be a free agent in the summer.
In the latest reports, it has been said that the emerging situation of Salah’s contract is a huge problem for Liverpool’s board and the club will have to line up the contract talks in the next weeks.
Mick Brown, Manchester United’s former chief scout, believes that Salah doesn’t want to leave the club, as he will be happy to sign another deal if there is one to be signed. He thinks that for the moment there is no offer to the player, but Liverpool will want to keep their best player at the club for more years.
He continues saying that even if Liverpool doesn’t win the league this season, they still can’t lose an important player like Mohamed Salah, who always showed up for the team.
