Mohamed Salah Far From The Signing Of A New Contract At Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has not shown any signs of staying at Liverpool (Instagram/@mosalah).

Mohamed Salah said that he was far from solving his future puzzle at Liverpool after scoring one goal and creating two assists in a 5-0 win at home to West Ham, Monday, December 30, 2024, early morning WIB.

The 32-year-old forward could start negotiations with non-English clubs from Wednesday, January 1, 2024, about the transfer of a free agent at the end of the season with his existing contract coming to an end on June 30, 2025.

Liverpool team-mate Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold also entered their last six months of contract at Anfield this week.

Despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his contract after next summer, Salah said that his focus was on winning the title with Liverpool even though he had not yet approached a new deal.

"No, we are still far from that (contract). I don't want to report anything in the media."

"The only thing on my mind is that I want Liverpool to win the league. I want to be a part of it."

"I will do my best for the team to win trophies. There are several other teams chasing us."

"We have to stay focused and humble and rise again. I'm just trying to enjoy the game."

"In the end I came here for results. I wanted to do something in the game, but I was almost hungry for more," Salah told Sky Sports.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah's contribution in three of Liverpool's five goals against West Ham made Arne Slot's team stronger at the top of the Premier League table this season.

Now, they have collected 45 points from 18 matches that have been undertaken, eight points ahead of Nottingham Forest, who is currently in second place.

Arne Slot gave special credit to Mohamed Salah after the match. He described the Egyptian player as extraordinary after scoring his 17th goal and 13th assist in the league

"The amazing word is something I've heard a lot in the last six months. He really deserves this and maybe also in the last eight years."

"However, I have been involved in the last half of the year. So, yes, I don't think he continues to surprise us."

"We know he's an amazing player and we know he's capable of it. But, besides that, he worked very hard for the team too when other teams had the ball."

"Yes, we can only hope he can continue to show a performance like this. However, I would like to add that if he scores, there are also preparations to score.

"So, there are also other players who put him in this position. If you put Mo in this position, he is extraordinary. Definitely," said Slot.
