Mohamed Salah has made it clear that he is not preoccupied with his future beyond the current season, despite having less than a year remaining on his contract with Liverpool.
The Egyptian forward, who has etched his name into Liverpool’s history books with 213 goals since his arrival in 2017, is one of three key players facing contract uncertainty at the end of the season. Joining Salah in this situation are Liverpool’s captain Virgil van Dijk and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Salah emphasized his desire to focus solely on the present. “Before the season, I was just like ‘I’ve got one year left, let’s just enjoy it and don’t think about the contract’,” he said. “I don’t want to think about next year or the future, I just want to enjoy the last year and let’s see. The most important thing is to take one day at a time and just be grateful to be here.”
Salah has been frequently linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, with Liverpool reportedly rejecting a substantial £150 million ($198 million) bid from Al-Ittihad a year ago. His current contract, which he signed in 2022, reportedly makes him the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history, earning over £18 million a year.
At 32 years old, Salah continues to demonstrate his exceptional form, having scored in both of Liverpool’s opening games under new manager Arne Slot, contributing to victories over Ipswich and Brentford. As Salah remains focused on enjoying the season, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see what the future holds for one of Liverpool’s most influential players.
