With his contract ending next June, Mohamed Salah (32 years old) made a notable media statement about his future last weekend. “I had a good summer and I had a lot of time to myself to try to stay positive because as you know it’s my last year at the club. I just want to enjoy it and I don’t want to think about it. I feel free to play football and we’ll see what happens next year. I came to the game today thinking it might be the last time (I’d come to Old Trafford with Liverpool). Nobody at the club has spoken to me about a new contract yet, so I’m playing this last season and I’ll see at the end of the season. At the moment we don’t know with which club, but at the moment it’s my last game here with Liverpool. It’s not up to me to decide, but nobody has spoken to me about a contract with the club. We’ll see.” In the dark, the Pharaoh hinted that he could leave the Reds this season. Except that this is not what he wants.
The Athletic explained on Tuesday that the Salah clan is pushing to extend its contract with the Reds. Information confirmed on Thursday by the Daily Mailwhich states that the player is “desperate” and that he absolutely wants to stay. He feels good at Liverpool, as do his wife and two daughters. In addition, the English media assures that he is not at all tempted by an adventure in Saudi Arabia, he who was flirted with for a long time by Al-Ittihad. Indeed, he was totally put off by the Saudi Pro League when he saw the treatment reserved for his former teammate Sadio Mané, pushed out by Al-Nassr only a year after his arrival. Mohamed Salah does not want to experience the same thing and prefers to continue within the Mersey club.
