The future of Mohamed Salah continues to dominate headlines as the Liverpool star delivers another stellar season under Arne Slot.
A weekend without Premier League action, due to Storm Darragh postponing the Merseyside derby, allowed rivals like Arsenal and Manchester City to close the gap at the top of the table.
With no match to focus on, speculation surrounding the contracts of Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold has momentarily quieted. The trio has been instrumental in Liverpool’s unexpected lead in the title race.
Salah, in particular, has been in remarkable form, netting 13 goals and providing eight assists in the league. Reports suggest the Egyptian forward is close to agreeing to a two-year extension with Liverpool after negotiations involving a potential compromise between the club’s one-year offer and Salah’s request for a three-year deal.
Further speculation was fueled by former Egypt defender Haytham Farouk, who congratulated Salah on social media, implying a deal might be in place.
However, uncertainty lingers, particularly after Salah expressed frustration in a rare interview, admitting he hasn’t received any formal offer yet and hinting at an uncertain future at Anfield.
Reports also claim Salah may be open to a one-year extension but is increasingly frustrated with the club’s handling of his contract situation.
With January approaching, Salah will be free to negotiate pre-contract agreements, prompting links to other clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain.
While PSG’s president denied these rumors, he praised Salah as a remarkable player and expressed admiration for his achievements at Liverpool.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has emphasized Salah’s crucial role in the team, describing his performances as “special” and acknowledging his value.
However, Slot admits it’s challenging to predict Salah’s long-term future at the club, even as the star continues to deliver standout moments.
