Liverpool fans have been left speculating about Mohamed Salah’s future, but an unexpected message from his agent has added a new twist to the ongoing contract saga.
The 32-year-old Egyptian superstar is one of three key Liverpool players whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the season.
While Salah has openly expressed disappointment over the club’s lack of a renewal offer, his agent’s recent statement has stirred fresh discussions.
Agent’s Praise for Arne Slot Raises Eyebrows
Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, is known for being calculated with his words, rarely commenting on football matters that don’t directly involve his client.
However, in a surprising move, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to a post featuring Liverpool manager Arne Slot.
The image showed Slot standing behind a Premier League table where Liverpool held a commanding seven-point lead at the top. Abbas simply wrote: “Excellent at his job.”
This public show of support for Slot has led to speculation about its deeper meaning.
Some believe it’s a subtle hint that Salah may still be open to staying at Anfield, while others see it as a mere acknowledgment of the Dutchman’s impressive work so far.
Regardless, Abbas’ words carry weight, especially given his influence over Salah’s career decisions.
Salah’s Impact on Liverpool’s Title Push
While his future remains unclear, Salah continues to be a driving force in Liverpool’s quest for the Premier League title.
In the recent Merseyside Derby, he provided his 14th assist of the season and scored his 22nd goal in what was a fiery contest.
However, Liverpool’s hopes of extending their lead to nine points were shattered when Everton’s James Tarkowski struck a dramatic equalizer in the 98th minute.
Despite the setback, Liverpool still hold a solid advantage over second-placed Arsenal, who are struggling with injuries.
With 14 matches remaining, Slot’s squad remains in control of their destiny.
Slot’s Red Card Controversy
The drama didn’t end with the final whistle at Goodison Park.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot was one of four individuals shown a red card by referee Michael Oliver after the match.
His assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, was also dismissed.
However, according to FA regulations, receiving a red card as a staff member does not automatically result in a touchline ban.
Oliver’s report will now be reviewed, along with video footage, before a final decision is made on any potential disciplinary action.
Slot could still be in the dugout for Liverpool’s next match against Wolves on Sunday, as the club awaits the FA’s ruling.
What’s Next?
With Salah’s future still uncertain, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool make a late contract offer to their talisman.
Meanwhile, Slot and his squad will aim to maintain their title charge, hoping to bounce back from their recent draw.
As speculation continues, Liverpool fans can only wait and see how the next chapter in this saga unfolds.
