Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is said to be ‘eager’ to extend his time at Anfield, with his current contract set to expire next summer.
Despite a stellar start to the season, including a standout performance in Liverpool’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United where he scored and provided two assists, Salah has not yet been offered a new contract.
After the match, he informed Sky Sports that he might be in his final season with the club.
“Honestly, I had a good summer,” Salah told Sky Sports. “I had plenty of time to reflect and stay positive because, as you know, it’s my last year at the club. I just want to enjoy it and not overthink it. I feel free to play football and we’ll see what happens next year.”
When former teammate Daniel Sturridge pressed him for clarification, Salah added: “To be honest, I was thinking before the game that it could be my last time playing at Old Trafford.
The club hasn’t spoken to me about a new contract yet, so I’ll finish this season and see what happens at the end.”
Despite these comments suggesting Salah might leave Liverpool on a free transfer, reports indicate that he is keen to stay at Anfield.
The Liverpool ECHO reveals that Salah is determined to remain with Liverpool, a year after Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad attempted to sign him for $197 million (£150 million).
Liverpool turned down the offer in summer 2023, as they didn’t have enough time to find a replacement. Although Salah will be 33 at the start of the 2025/26 season, he remains in excellent form.
The ECHO also notes that Salah’s family is well settled in Liverpool, with sources indicating that Salah’s daughter is considered a part of the city, reinforcing his desire to stay.
