Mohamed Salah has refused to fully commit to Liverpool for the coming years. The Egyptian is currently in contract negotiations, and has not yet accepted the offers made by the club for an extension.
This season, the winger has been in sensational form and is by far the best player in the Premier League. He leads the goalscoring charts in England with 20 goals to his name. The player’s deal with Liverpool runs out in 2023, and he has been quite reserved about his future when he was asked in a Sky Sports interview.
Mohamed Salah not sure about Liverpool stay yet
‘Honestly, what can I say?’ Salah said. ‘There are many things people don’t know about. I can’t be selfish now and talk about my situation.
‘We are in the most important period for the team so I have to just talk about the team, focus on what’s coming and that’s the most important thing. That’s all I can say. Hopefully we can be optimistic and see what’s going to happen.’
Asked if he was confident things would get sorted, Mohamed Salah replied: ‘I can’t say yes and I can’t say no. I’ve said many times before that’s what I want. I can’t go deep in the contract right now because it’s a really sensitive situation.
‘For the team to win I can’t just go on the news and talk about my contract. I just focus on the team and that’s it.
‘I talk to the manager from time to time, I’m very professional. I’m not bothered about contract talks. I’m just focusing on the team and giving everything for the club.’
The player will be key for Liverpool in their most important game of the season against defending Premier League champions Manchester City, who are only one point ahead of them.
