Will Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (32) choose to stay instead of transfer.
British media ‘Daily Mail’ reported on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that “Sala hopes to sign a contract with Liverpool despite Saudi Arabia’s interest.”
“Sala is desperate to be accompanied by Liverpool, so she wants to sign a new contract,” he added.
He also said, “Sala wants to stay in Liverpool because of her family who currently settled in Liverpool. He has two daughters, his wife, Makah, born in 2014, and Kayan, born in 2020.”
In this situation, Liverpool also wants Salah to be accompanied. “Liverpool offered Salah a two-year contract,” said Indikaila News, which is fluent in Liverpool information. The weekly salary will be added to the £300,000 base salary.
Another media outlet, Football Insider, also said, “Sala is making a big contribution to Liverpool’s good start under the new coach,” adding, “The renewal of Salah’s contract will begin in a few weeks.”
Salah exploded with one goal and two assists against Manchester United in the third round of the English Premier League in the 2024-25 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 2nd. Through this, Liverpool won 3-0.
Salah has made a significant start to the season. He scored one goal and one assist in the opening match against Ipswich to win 2-0, and one goal against Brentford to contribute to his 2-0 win.
Salah is an icon of Liverpool. When he joined Liverpool in 2017, he rose to the rank of world class. He has established himself as a key player by showing movements that are perfect for Jürgen Klopp’s tactics. He has displayed impressive scoring capacity as well.
Salah has held the Premier League Golden Boot (scoring king) three times (2017-18, 2018-19, 2021-22) in the record of 20 Premier League goals for seven consecutive seasons until last season. Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, who boasted fantastic chemistry, have all left Liverpool, but Salah has remained as an ace so far.
Despite his old age, Salah is still a key player for Liverpool. However, he has yet to renew his contract. Rumors are spreading that he will move to Saudi Arabia. Will Salah and Liverpool, who entered the final year of their contract, be able to continue their partnership. 안전놀이터
In an interview with British media ‘Sky Sports’ after the game, there was talk about the contract situation with Liverpool. “I played with the mindset that (the Manchester United away game) could be the last. None of the team members talk about the contract,” he said.
“Re-signing is not up to me, it’s up to the club,” he said. “As you all know, this is my last year with this team. I won’t think about signing a contract anymore, I’ll just enjoy this situation.”
Last summer, Salah received a £150 million offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ihitad. The possibility of a transfer has arisen because it is emotionally and geographically close to his native Egypt and religiously possible.
With the contract terminating soon, the possibility is open. “There are countless assumptions about ‘what if’. Salah is part of our team now, and I’m glad to be with him,” Slot coach Arne said, avoiding an answer to the rumor of a transfer to Salah.
Some analysts said Salah’s interview was intended to put pressure on Liverpool. “Sala stressed her influence on Liverpool at Old Trafford and put pressure on the club to offer him a new contract,” said Melissa Reddy, a reporter for Sky Sports, a British media outlet. “Sala is in the last year of her contract and claims she doesn’t waste her mind focusing on the situation, but we know she prefers to stay at Anfield. Salah is not considering other clubs yet, but I think she can still play at the highest level for several years. So Saudi Arabia’s interest is not attractive to him at the moment.”
“It is Salah’s position that Liverpool should start talking about the new conditions,” Reddy said. “It is not his job to push for it. There has not even been a discussion yet. It will be incredibly difficult to be able to replace Salah on the ground at the moment. Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander Arnold are also in the final year of their contracts. Liverpool has a lot of work to do.”
As reporter Reddy said, Salah’s pressure seems to work. Liverpool is also trying to accompany Salah by renewing its contract. Salah also hopes to stay rather than transfer to Saudi Arabia. As they want to renew their contracts with each other, they are expected to negotiate quickly.
