Otherwise, he will be able to walk out for free. The player has demanded an upgrade in salary, which Liverpool are yet to match. Despite him entering his 30s soon, he is the most influential player on the pitch for them right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 29-year-old has broken several records this season. He is now the highest African goalscorer in the Premier League, and is the only player to net a hat-trick at Old Trafford after Ronaldo Nazario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Introducing the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/premierleague?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">@PremierLeague<\/a> Player of the Month for October \ud83d\udc51<br><br>Well deserved, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MoSalah?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">@MoSalah<\/a> \ud83d\ude0d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J7LyknlcP9\">pic.twitter.com\/J7LyknlcP9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Liverpool FC (@LFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFC\/status\/1459113754700877831?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">November 12, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other European clubs are monitoring the situation of the winger, and are waiting to sign him if the opportunity arises.
