Liverpool immediately started preparing to renew the contract after Mohammed Salah's words. This is a point where Son Heung-min, who is negotiating a contract renewal with Tottenham, which is sluggish, can also see and learn.

Britain's Liverpool Eco is not interested in Saudi Arabia and money is not important. Therefore, he is desperate to sign a new contract with Liverpool.

Liverpool recently became the center of the topic with Salah's shocking remarks. It started with Salah's interview after the Liverpool and Manchester United game.

Salah was interviewed after leading Liverpool to a 3-0 win over Manchester United. Salah only expressed her feelings about her final year with Liverpool rather than the joy of victory. Salah "spent a lot of time trying to keep positive thoughts. As everyone knows, this is my last season in Liverpool. I just want to enjoy it. I don't want to think. I'll play soccer in a relaxed mood and see what happens next year,' he said.

Then, as I prepared for this game, I thought it could be my last away trip to Old Trafford. So far, no one has spoken to me about renewing the contract. That's why I'll think 'Yeah, this is the last year' and wait and see what happens after the season ends", suggesting the possibility of breaking up with Liverpool.

It was embarrassing news for Liverpool fans. Salah has been a key player in the team's offense every season since joining Liverpool in 2017. Like Manchester City's Elling Holan and Tottenham's Son Heung-min, he has consistently maintained his position as the team's iconic striker. When Salah left a statement suggesting the last, not the renewal of his contract, ahead of the expiration of his contract with Liverpool in the summer of 2025, he had no choice but to draw great attention.

After confirming Salah's interview, Liverpool belatedly began to express its intention to start negotiations on renewing the contract. Considering that he is already doing his best this season, he should have discussed renewing his contract sooner, but Liverpool said it would start discussing in earnest from now on with various excuses.

British media have put pressure on Liverpool's leadership, saying openly about their future at Anfield. According to the news, Liverpool will begin talks with Salah within a few weeks, and the renewal of the contract is expected to enter a new phase. In the meantime, Liverpool has reportedly focused all of its focus on new staff such as new coach Arne Slot and Michael Headwars. The transfer market is closed, and now we will start negotiations with Salah. He said Liverpool has focused on its staff so far, so he will start negotiating a full-fledged renewal.

There is a good chance that England's Give Me Sports will sign a new contract because it is an indispensable part of Liverpool. Liverpool did not offer a new contract because it focused on the placement of managers and recruiters.

If Liverpool actively negotiates, Salah's chances of staying are high. Salah is already known to prioritize staying in Liverpool. Liverpool Echo said Salah hopes to stay in Liverpool, not go to the Middle East, saying, `There is one reason why Salah refuses to move to Saudi Arabia after seeing the case of former teammate Sadio Mane, who has fallen in reputation after moving to the Middle East.

In fact, even for Liverpool, it was not easy to let Salah go on a free contract. Salah has swept various records since joining Liverpool, making his way to one of Liverpool's best players of all time. He joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017 and achieved a leap forward in his career. Salah was not initially expected, but he has grown into one of the best wingers in the EPL, exploding 10 goals in the European Champions League with 32 goals and 11 assists in the 2017-2018 season, his first season.

Salah's growth continued after that. Salah, who played 352 games in Liverpool, scored 214 goals and 92 assists, and scored 160 goals and 72 assists in 266 games in the EPL, won three EPL Golden Boots (2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2021-2022) and was selected as the EPL Player of the Year in the 2017-2018 season. He has already made a name for Liverpool history as the third-highest scorer in Liverpool's career.

Meanwhile, considering Liverpool's quick change of attitude after Salah's remarks, Son Heung-min, who has been suspended from renewing his contract with Tottenham with one year left on his contract this summer, may have to consider this direction. Son Heung-min has only left a story about committing to the team instead of talking about an extension contract with Tottenham. In addition, there was only news that Tottenham would trigger a one-year contract extension instead of signing a quick contract renewal with Son Heung-min, the team's center and captain. If Son Heung-min suggests his last dismissal at Tottenham, Tottenham may hurry to renew his contract just like Liverpool.

Liverpool moved at Salah's words. If the contract is signed, the history of one of Liverpool's best strikers will continue for a longer time.
