Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah is nearing the end of his contract at the club, and he will be a free agent in the summer.
A report by Give Me Sport has claimed that seven-season Liverpool veteran Mohamed Salah is now increasingly likely to sign a new contract with the club. The Egyptian intenrational has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months, and he is eventually expected to end up in the Saudi Pro League.
The 32-year-old has been exceptional for Liverpool over the years, and he has helped them win several major trophies. There is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the world and that he needs to compete at the highest level at the peak of his powers. Heading to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career would have been a mistake.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can tie him down to a new deal. Despite being 32, he remains a world-class player, and he has 26 goal contributions in 21 matches this season. In addition, he is an extremely fit player whose availability has been extraordinary since his arrival in 2017.
Salah has rarely missed a game for Liverpool, and they need to tie him down to a new deal as soon as possible. With the veteran attacker regularly talking about his contract situation, the Reds need to bridge the gap quickly.
Liverpool need to keep Salah at the club
Liverpool will be hoping to fight for major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need to hold on to their best players. Apart from his quality as a footballer, Salah is one of the leaders of the dressing room and he adds a lot of intangibles to the club on and off the pitch.
The player has previously hinted that he would be willing to stay at Liverpool beyond his current deal, but the club are yet to make efforts to tie him down to a new deal. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. Liverpool fans will certainly be desperate for the club to extend his contract, and it remains to be seen whether the two parties can iron out an agreement.
Liverpool are currently on top of the league table, and Salah has been instrumental in their success under the new manager Arne Slot. It will be interesting to see if the Egyptian international can guide them to a league title this season.
