Mohamad Salah has said something that Liverpool fans didn’t want amid the Title race with Arsenal and City. Star forward for Liverpool Mohamed Salah has come up with recent questions about his future at the club.
Salah’s current deal is almost up. He has shown his concern at how talks over a new deal have stalled. He says he is more out than in about his Anfield future as things stand. It follows a fine season for Salah, whose contributions have figured markedly in the team’s achievements.
Salah’s current deal runs down to the end of the season. He will be able to start talking with foreign clubs in January. He is in excellent nick, netting 12 in all competitions this season. Including a vital brace in Liverpool’s 3-2 win in the last meeting with Southampton.
The performance helped preserve Liverpool’s Premier League lead, eight points ahead of closest rivals. Although Salah has scored goals for Liverpool with such regularity. In past, he has been named PFA Footballer of the Year. He said he had not been offered a formal contract extension by the club yet. He would not just ‘automatically say yes’ if such an offer were to come.
In his own words, Salah conveyed his disappointment. “We’re almost in December and no offers to stay in the club, so I’m probably more out than in.” He also said he has a long relationship with Liverpool and that no club is like it.
But he also conceded that the decision about his future is not his alone to make. A growing uncertainty over whether Salah will stay at Liverpool beyond the season hits the spot. With his sentiments reflecting that.
Mohamad Salah speaks on contract situation amid Title race with Arsenal
The implications for Salah and Liverpool alike are all the more important. As Salah approaches the final months of his current contract. As it stands, the potential free transfer of Salah makes the club’s options in this instance a tricky one. It would lose one of its most valuable players Salah in a title race with City and Arsenal.
Since joining from Roma, he has become an invaluable part of Liverpool’s creative potency. Scoring his goals to the team’s great benefit. Not only is he the club’s all-time leading goal scorer in the Premier League with 167 goals. But he has been a mainstay in Liverpool’s potential big trophy wins. In the form of the Premier League and Champions League.
It’s fair to say Liverpool’s wage structure and financial limitations add further layers to the already ill-furnished discussions around the contract. But Salah is now one of the club’s highest-paid players, which means negotiations are difficult. Yet the club must strike some sort of balance of retaining one of its most influential players while trying to balance its budget.
If Salah fails to reach an agreement before January he could be open to exploring options outside of England. If it happens, we could see a bidding war between clubs keen to lock him down, without having to pay a transfer fee. Taking Salah out of the pack would be huge for Liverpool not just on the pitch but in the way that fans engage with the club and drive commercial value.
Focus on Winning the league
With January 1st approaching, and so is the winter window, all eyes will be fixed on Salah’s situation. Now he, and now Liverpool, will need to get through the next couple of weeks and the resulting games, a time when their partnership will feel key. Salah is keen he and his team win titles this season, hoping a resolution can be brokered over his future.
Liverpool’s need to secure the future of Mohamed Salah is unknown — he continues to impress on the pitch while waiting for news about his future. The comments show the club’s importance to him and his anger that there has been no communication in terms of a new deal.
For now, Salah is focused on continuing his excellent form, as has been the case all season at Liverpool, with the chasing pack hot on his heels in the Premier League and perhaps in Europe too.
