Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is nearing the end of his contract at the club, and he will be a free agent in the summer.
As per CaughtOffside, Liverpool have now stepped up their efforts to tie him down to a new deal and discussions have intensified between the two parties. The report states that Salah is open to staying at Enfield beyond this season. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince him to stay at the club.
He is one of the best players in the world and keeping him at the club should be one of their top priorities. Salah has been exceptional for Liverpool this season and he’s the top scorer in the Premier League. He has helped them climb to the top of the league and the Champions League.
Losing him, especially on a free transfer would be a devastating blow for any club. Salah is more than just a goal scorer, and he is a world-class creator as well. Liverpool simply cannot afford to lose him any time soon. The player is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he will look to perform at the highest level in the coming seasons.
Liverpool cannot lose Salah
Liverpool must do everything in their power to hold onto him. The Egyptian is currently the highest earner at the club and he deserves a pay rise based on his performance. The Reds will have to submit an offer too good to turn down if they want to keep him. Even though they might have to break the wage structure for him, Liverpool simply cannot allow the best player in the world to leave on a free transfer. Also, losing a player like him would send out a wrong statement regarding the club’s ambition.
Liverpool will be hoping to fight for major trophies regularly, and they need to hold onto their best players.
Meanwhile, the player has been linked with clubs in Saudi Arabia, and it will be interesting to see if any club is willing to come forward with a proposal for him over the next few months. He is already eligible to negotiate with foreign clubs and secure a pre-contract agreement with them.
