Mohamed Salah is currently leaning towards signing a new contract, dispelling rumours that he would relocate to Saudi Arabia this year.
After 20 games, the Reds lead the Premier League standings and are having a fantastic season in 2023–2024. It looks likely that they will play in the Champions League again the following season.
Liverpool’s transfer policy has changed as a result of the Egypt international’s willingness to extend his contract, according to sources who spoke with FootballTransfers and Anfield Watch. Up until recently, the team had been aggressively looking into backup possibilities for Salah. But in light of the most recent events, Liverpool has suddenly lowered the intensity of their winger search.
Despite the ongoing rumours about his future, Salah’s decision to commit his future to Liverpool would surely be viewed as a major win for the team, even though the contract’s details are yet unknown.
Since joining Jurgen Klopp’s team in 2017, the 31-year-old forward has continued to be an essential member, regularly putting on outstanding performances and being a key factor in the team’s victories.
Liverpool rejected a bid worth up to £150 million made by Saudi Pro League winners Al Ittihad last summer, stating that the player was not for sale.
Liverpool target Salah stay
Salah’s current £350,000-a-week contract at Anfield expires in 2025, but Liverpool wants to keep him around for as long as they can, even at his advanced age.
With 25 games played across all competitions this season, the 31-year-old has contributed an amazing 26 goals, and with 14 goals, he tops the Premier League scorers’ chart.
He has scored 204 goals and provided 82 assists with the Reds in 332 games overall.
With Liverpool’s victory over Newcastle on New Year’s Day, Salah scored his 150th Premier League goal.
He is now leaving Merseyside to represent Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations, a competition that might cause him to miss up to eight club matches, depending on how his nation performs.
