Liverpool’s new sporting director Richard Hughes will lead contract renewal talks with superstar Mohamed Salah.
According to a report by The Times, Mohamed Salah is expected to stay at Liverpool beyond the upcoming summer transfer window as their new sporting director Richard Hughes is all set to hold contract talks with the 31-year-old mainstay.
Uncertainty over Salah’s future
Salah has been the leader of the Liverpool attack for years now. But his future has been the talk of the town with his contract running out in the summer of 2025. With just over a year left on his deal, reports suggested he could be on the move ahead of next season.
The recent touchline rumpus with Jurgen Klopp resulted in more speculations about the 31-year-old ace. But, the player has never suggested that he intends to leave the Merseyside club. Despite what happened with Klopp at the London Stadium, Salah is expected to continue at the club.
The Egypt international, who will soon turn 32, will have an important role under Arne Slot, who is reportedly set to take over from Klopp as their new manager. The Dutch tactician is keen on having Salah at his disposal, and the club are looking to ensure he remains at the club for at least another season.
Liverpool working on Salah’s new deal
With Salah entering the final year of his contract, Liverpool’s new sporting director Richard Hughes will work on his renewal. He is all set to take the lead to ensure they can convince the 31-year-old to commit his future to the club before his deal runs out in the summer of 2025.
There is a lot of interest in his services from the Middle East. Clubs from the Saudi Pro League did knock on Liverpool’s door last summer with a massive fee, and they are expected to return in the summer. But, the club will look to keep hold of their star.
More importantly, Liverpool are almost guaranteed to be a part of the UEFA Champions League next season, and the opportunity to compete with the very best in Europe will appeal to Salah. As a result, there are high chances that he will continue at the club and even pen down a new deal.
