News is coming out that a new contract between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool is imminent.
Citing sources such as Spain's Marca, the British Daily Mail reported on the 17th (Korea time) that `Sala and Liverpool are close to a new contract, and Liverpool, which has made great progress in relation to Salah's future, is setting an announcement date.'
Salah, whose contract with Liverpool expires at the end of this season, has not yet signed an extension contract. Amid rumors such as a transfer to the Middle East, the Daily Mail predicted that Salah will end speculation about the future through a new contract with Liverpool.
Born in 1992, like Son Heung-min, Salah, 32, is Liverpool's top legend and has scored 227 goals in 372 games since joining Liverpool for a £36.5 million transfer from AS Roma in 2017. Salah, who lifted as many as eight trophies at Anfield in the love of former coach Jurgen Klopp, has continued his crazy performance of 16 goals and 13 assists in the league and 9 assists in a total of 23 games under Arne Slot this season, showing the presence of 'irreplaceable'. He leads Liverpool with the league's top scorer, second-most assists, and most offensive points.
Despite the steady performance of forgetting his age, fans' anxiety is increasing as no specific story has been released ahead of the expiration of his contract next summer. Salah interviewed "This season could be the last", he said, expressing dissatisfaction with the club's lukewarm attitude.
Shortly after beating Manchester City 2-0 with one goal and one assist on the 1st, Salah said "Honestly in my head, I thought it was the last Man City match for Liverpool, but I'm just going to enjoy it. I'm enjoying every moment because the atmosphere is really good." In an interview with the Daily Mail after leading the team to a 3-2 victory over Southampton on the 24th of last month, he said, `There will be more players than players coming in.' `It's almost December, but I haven't received an offer from the club yet"After all, this problem is not in my hands. As I said, it's December and I haven't heard anything about my future yet. I love my fans, they love me, but in the end, this is not in the hands of me or the fans."
Spanish media outlet Marca said there had been progress in recent weeks with the Liverpool club regarding Salah's new contract, and from January 1 next year, the situation has changed where Salah can negotiate with foreign clubs as an FA status and theoretically agree to a contract," he reported. High-ranking Liverpool officials have reportedly persuaded Salah to sign a new contract and are confident that everything can be signed before the end of the year. The outlet added that "the interest in Salah in Saudi Arabia's professional league remains, but the possibility of Salah, 32, moving to the Middle East has been reduced.' Marca also argued that `Liverpool is desperate to retain at least two of the three players as their contracts with key players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, as well as Salah expire in the summer.'
Meanwhile, Salah is preparing for the Carabao Cup quarterfinals between Liverpool and Southampton at 5 a.m. on the 19th.
