Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is reportedly eager to extend his time at Anfield beyond the current season.
Despite a looming contract expiration this summer, the Egyptian forward seems determined to stay with the Reds.
Salah’s Impact and Future
Salah has solidified his place as one of Liverpool’s all-time greats during his seven years at the club.
After Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Manchester United, Salah hinted that this might be his final season with the team.
Yet, according to recent reports, Salah is now focused solely on extending his stay at Liverpool and is keen to remain at Anfield.
Interest from Saudi Arabia
There has been significant interest from Saudi Arabia, particularly from Al-Ittihad, who showed a strong desire to sign Salah in the summer of 2023.
However, Salah’s hesitation appears to be influenced by the declining reputation of his former teammate Sadio Mane in the Saudi Pro League.
Sadio Mane’s Influence
A source close to the situation revealed that Salah is reluctant to follow in Mane’s footsteps, even if it means passing up a lucrative offer.
Mane’s stint in Saudi Arabia hasn’t kept him in the limelight as much as his successful tenure at Liverpool did, despite his financial gains and better performances compared to his time at Bayern Munich.
Family Considerations
Another significant factor in Salah’s decision to stay at Liverpool is his family.
Salah and his wife Magi have two daughters, Makka and Kayan, who are settled in their current environment.
Recent Performance and Comments
Salah had a standout performance in Liverpool’s recent match, contributing a goal and two assists.
After the game, he commented on the possibility of it being his last visit to Old Trafford.
He mentioned that no one from the club has approached him about a new contract yet and expressed his desire to enjoy the rest of his season without dwelling on contract talks.
Other Contract Concerns at Liverpool
Salah’s contract situation isn’t the only contract issue at Liverpool, with both Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold also in the final year of their deals.
The future of these key players is also up for discussion as Liverpool navigates a pivotal period.
