BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool’s best player is ready to sign a one-year-contract extension at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah has been open about his desire for Liverpool to offer him a contract extension at Anfield, but so far, his requests seem to have been ignored by the club’s leadership.
The Egyptian forward, whose current deal has just seven months remaining, revealed last week that he has yet to receive an offer for new terms. Following Liverpool’s recent win over Manchester City, Salah made a concerning statement, suggesting it might have been his last match against Pep Guardiola’s side as a Reds player.
At 32, Salah is Liverpool’s highest-paid player, earning £350,000 per week according to Capology. Despite his status, the ongoing contract situation has left him increasingly frustrated.
Salah’s Frustration with Contract Talks
On Monday, Simon Hughes of The Athletic shed light on Salah’s current position in what has become a tense contract saga. According to Hughes, Salah is willing to sign a one-year extension to keep him at Liverpool until June 2026, when he will be 34. However, the player is reportedly growing frustrated with how slowly negotiations are progressing and doubts whether Fenway Sports Group (FSG) will meet his expectations.
While talks are ongoing, Salah remains unsure about the club’s stance on the length and terms of a potential extension. With only 30 days left before clubs outside England can begin negotiating a pre-contract agreement with him, the situation is becoming increasingly urgent.
Despite the uncertainty, Salah’s preference is to remain at Liverpool. He believes his performances place him among the world’s top players—a status he feels should be reflected in any new deal. He is also confident that age will not hinder his ambition to win the Ballon d’Or.
Salah’s Continued Importance to Liverpool
If the choice is between Salah staying for one more season or leaving on a free transfer next summer, most Liverpool fans would choose the former. His commitment to the club is encouraging, but the delay in resolving the issue is a major concern.
Hughes also pointed out that, apart from Rodri’s recent win, no player under 31 has won the Ballon d’Or since 2015. This supports Salah’s belief that he can still achieve this milestone.
With 13 goals and 11 assists in 20 games this season, Salah has proven he remains essential to Liverpool’s success. His performances show no signs of decline, despite his high wages and advancing age.
It’s understandable why Salah is frustrated with the handling of his contract situation. For now, a one-year extension would be a welcome resolution, ensuring he doesn’t leave on a free transfer in the summer.
