At 32, Mohamed Salah no longer seems to suffer the effects of time. This weekend, it was again he who gave victory to Liverpool during a complicated trip to bottom side Southampton by scoring a double. Since the start of the season he has already scored 12 goals and 10 assists. But seven months before the end of his contract, he was very evasive about his future: “It's almost December and I haven't received any extension offers from the club. I'm probably more close to leaving than staying. You know, I've been here for a long time. There's no other club like this (…) The fans love me and I love them. At the end of the day, it's not my decision (…). I'm disappointed, but we'll see I'm very professional. Everyone can see my work ethic,” he said.
“Of course there were discussions”
A statement which had the effect of a bomb throughout the country as Liverpool prances at the top of the Premier League with eight points ahead of Manchester City and also dominates the Champions League. Today, it's the turn of Jammie Carragher, the former Reds legend turned consultant, who said more about the discussions between the two parties: “Of course, there have been discussions. At the moment, There is obviously a big difference in valuation, between how Salah and his agent value themselves, in terms of contract length, and Liverpool's position. The reason why Liverpool have not offered a contract yet is that. Mo Salah would refuse it The discussions. continue, and I am desperate that they find common ground”, he explained, before pointing the finger at the behavior of the Egyptian in this story: “But I must say that I am very disappointed by Mo Salah. This interview from last night… Liverpool plays Real Madrid in the middle of the week and against Manchester City next weekend. That's the news from Liverpool at the moment. we know it – especially local journalists close to the club – in seven years ago, he stopped twice in the mixed zone. This is completely normal. But he stopped for the third time at Southampton after giving Liverpool victory and threw that away. If he continues to make statements or his agent continues to post cryptic tweets, it's selfish. It's about thinking about yourself and not about the club.” A strong message that is sure to get people talking!
