Liverpool FC’s star player, Mo Salah, a game-changer in his own right, appears to be inching closer to an exit as he maintains a standstill on his contract extension. The Egyptian football legend’s contribution to the club’s success is undeniable, yet it seems he might be donning a new jersey when the next season kicks off.
Salah, the unstoppable No. 11, has been instrumental in guiding Liverpool towards its first Premier League title since the 2019/20 season. His staggering tally of 51 goal contributions, comprising 30 goals and 21 assists, in the 2024/25 season across 38 games is a testament to his prowess on the field. However, it appears this impressive performance record may not be enough to keep him anchored at Anfield beyond the summer.
In a candid conversation with Steve McManaman, ahead of Liverpool’s hosting of Newcastle United, Salah opened up about his journey with the club. The former Roma striker expressed an undeniable love for the club and the city that had become his home.
“I want fans to remember that I gave it all to the fans, I gave it all to the city. I was here, I wasn’t lazy, I just enjoyed my football and gave it all,” Salah confessed to TNT Sports. He further emphasized the deep bond he shared with the city, which he believes is centered on mutual love and effort.
Salah’s heartfelt statement, “I just want them to remember that I was here for eight years and I gave it all,” is a poignant reminder of his dedication to the team. Yet, when probed about his future at Liverpool, Salah’s response was a cryptic yet polite “No.”
On being questioned about his record-breaking spree at Liverpool and in England, Salah left room for speculation. He stated, “If I stay in this country, I will think about it. But so far, I’m just thinking about winning the Premier League, and we’ll see at the end of the season.”
This leaves fans and followers in a state of anticipation about Salah’s next move. Will he continue to contribute to English football or seek new pastures elsewhere? The answer, it seems, will only be revealed at the end of the season. Until then, all eyes remain on Liverpool’s No. 11 and his decisive moves on and off the field.
