Mohamed Salah did not beat around the bush, announcing after the victory at Southampton that he was disappointed not to have news from his club for a contract extension. Free next June, Egypt is nevertheless the best offensive player in his team this season, and has a string of excellent performances. However, Liverpool have obviously not decided to hurry. Is Reds coach Arne Slot afraid that this will disrupt his player, as a European clash looms against Real Madrid? Response at press conference.
“He’s not disturbed at all. I didn’t see him afterwards when he made his comments. I didn’t see anything today, he is entirely focused on tomorrow’s match. If you had been at the training center today, no one talked about it, at least when I was there. Players are also focused on the short term. That is to say Real Madrid and City. I don’t think there’s any distraction for him, the players and certainly not for me.”Slot said, calmly. Remember that Liverpool is leader of the Premier League, and of the Champions League standings.
