Liverpool are reportedly ready to accelerate the Mohamed Salah contract talks ahead of the next period, as they are keen to keep the Egyptian on board.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are keen to accelerate their movements regarding Mohamed Salah’s contractual situation in the coming days. The star winger is in danger of opening talks with other clubs in the winter window, and time may be of the essence for the Merseysiders to make their decision on the seven-season veteran.
Liverpool fans are extremely happy with how the team has progressed under Arne Slot in his first season. The team secured a starring victory over Real Madrid in midweek, which kept them on top of the table, as they are also two points clear at the top of the Premier League standings as things stand.
Off the field, Liverpool fans have many worries about the futures of three of their most important players. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah have contracts that expire next summer, and the Egyptian’s situation has become more public knowledge recently.
Salah once again expressed his unhappiness at how the situation is progressing. The winger reiterated that no proposal has been made by the club yet. His comments after the win over Southampton echoed the ones made after the Manchester United game, as experts insist the winger is eager to stay here.
Liverpool have barely progressed in talks with Salah, although they are eager to open proper dialogue with the seven-season veteran. The club are eager to accelerate talks with the winger over a new deal, and they might have to do so quickly, as the winger can begin talks with suitors once the January window opens.
Will Salah stay at Liverpool?
Mohamed Salah has a big Saudi Arabian interest, and clubs from the Middle Eastern league are eager to lure the most high-profile Arabic player in the world to one of the PIF-owned clubs. Liverpool have also identified a few notable replacement options, including Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, ahead of next summer.
However, taking into account how Salah has spoken about his contractual situation, he does showcase an intention to continue at the club. Any deal will depend on the wages Liverpool are willing to offer. This is an important factor as Salah is already their highest-paid star by a margin, given the financial offers available from other suitors, especially the Saudis.
