Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has reiterated that he is preparing for this to be his final season at the Merseyside club as negotiations over a new contract stall.
Question from Sky Sports On why winning the Premier League had become more of a priority than the Champions League, Salah said: “I’ll probably come back here, it’s my last year at the club so you want to do something special for the city.”
Asked if he is sure this is his last season with Arne Slot’s side, the Egypt international added: “So far, yes. It’s the last six month (of my contract).
“There is no progress in this area. We are far from any progress. So we just have to wait and see.”
Salah is one of three key Liverpool players whose contract expires at the end of the season. Trent Alexander-Arnold And Virgil van Dijk could both leave next summer on free transfers, with sources confirming to ESPN earlier this week that Liverpool had rejected a bid from Real Madrid for the England international.
The trio played a key role in Liverpool’s Premier League victory in the 2019-20 campaign and their Champions League triumph in 2019. They also won the FA Cup (2022), Carabao Cup (2022, 2024), the UEFA Super Cup (2019). ) and the Club World Cup (2019) during their time at Anfield.
Liverpool begin 2025 eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, having collected 45 points from their first 18 games. Slot’s team will host Manchester United in their next match on January 5.
