Egypt's Sports Minister Reveals Mohamed Salah's Future, Bad News For Juventus

JAKARTA - The future of Liverpool player, Mohamed Salah, is still a question mark. The player has not yet signed a new contract with the Merseyside club.

It was wrong to say that he had thought of surviving. He is reported to have accepted an offer from Liverpool who are willing to increase his salary to £300,000 per week.

This was confirmed by the Egyptian Minister of Sports, Ashraf Sobhi. He advised Salah to continue his career at another club, but the player decided otherwise.

"I have advised him to continue his career at a club other than Liverpool, but his direction now is to renew his contract," Sobhi told the BBC, as reported by Football Italia.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has also said that Salah's agent and the club are in negotiations. However, he did not want to reveal more about it.

"Decision makers are talking to each other and that's what I needed," he said.

This news is clearly bad news for Juventus. The reason is, the club from Turin is eyeing the services of the former Chelsea player. Salah is projected to fill the position of Paulo Dybala who has decided to leave.

In addition, Juventus are also attracted by the experience of Salah who has played in the Italian Serie A. The 29-year-old has played for Fiorentina and AS Roma. He scored 35 goals in the 82 games he played during his two-and-a-half years in Italy.
