This is perhaps the big issue of the year in the world of football. A true goal machine for several seasons, Mohamed Salah continues to thrive in the Premier League with Liverpool. Top scorer and best passer in the English championship currently, the Egyptian has incredible statistics at the start of the season with 20 goals and 17 assists in 26 matches. But he is coming to the end of his contract next June and he has not yet extended with the Reds. And while he had not hidden his desire to continue the adventure in his club, the situation of the 32-year-old striker has not changed for a very long time.
This is surprising as Mohamed Salah proves match after match that he is still the best player in his team and one of the best players in the world. Obviously, his situation does not leave the biggest clubs in the world indifferent. And this Friday, the former Roma striker dropped a bomb on the microphone of Sky Sports explaining that he is playing his last season with Liverpool… for now. “This is my last year at Liverpool. No one has spoken to me since September. So far yes, it’s the last six months. There is no progress there. We are far from any progress even. So you just have to wait and see. What I’m thinking is, if this is the last six months, what do you want to see in the future? Do you want to look back and say I was worried or stressed about the contract? Or do you just mean I had an amazing season? This is what I have in mind. If I ever feel distracted, I just tell myself I want to look back and tell myself I had an amazing season. This is what I want to do. »
PSG on the lookout, Liverpool remains Salah’s priority
A statement which quickly ignited the world press which therefore sees in these words, a farewell message from Mohamed Salah to Liverpool. But the reality is slightly different. According to our information, the Egyptian international (101 caps, 58 goals) still hopes to continue his adventure in the Premier League. His priority is to extend his contract with Liverpool. His media outing seems above all a way of putting pressure on his management and making them react when no developments have taken place in this matter for several months. Which is starting to bother Mohamed Salah.
Image generation in progress
By publicly stating that he is playing his last matches with Liverpool (which is factual since he did not extend), Mohamed Salah is now putting pressure on his club. At the same time, the player’s agents are still in continuous discussions with PSG, which remains one of the interested clubs and, above all, capable of aligning itself with the player’s financial requirements. The capital club is closely following the matter. The other way out seems, unsurprisingly, to be Saudi Arabia, which does not hide its desire to bring back as many stars as possible to its championship. But here again, no progress since no club has taken any concrete steps to acquire the Premier League star. This is a file that will animate the coming months…
