Mohamed Salah has revealed that negotiations with Liverpool over a new contract are at a standstill, casting further uncertainty over his future with the Premier League leaders.
Speaking to Sky Sports after Liverpool’s emphatic 5-0 victory over West Ham at the London Stadium, Salah acknowledged the lack of progress in discussions.
The Egyptian forward played a pivotal role in the match, scoring one goal and providing two assists as his team extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to eight points.
Addressing the contract situation, Salah remarked, “We are far away from that.
I don’t want to put something in the media and people start saying stuff, but nothing really has moved on.
Now I am focused on the team and hopefully, we win the Premier League.
Salah’s current contract is set to expire in six months, leaving Liverpool in a precarious position as they risk losing their star player without a renewal or transfer fee.
Despite the uncertainty, Salah’s form on the pitch has remained exceptional.
He currently leads the Premier League in both goals and assists this season, with 17 goals and 13 assists to his name—a testament to his importance to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
Liverpool’s performance against West Ham underscored the team’s dominance, with Salah orchestrating much of their attacking play.
The win, secured in clinical fashion, further solidified their position as title favorites, but the unresolved contract situation looms as a potential distraction.
Salah’s contributions since joining Liverpool in 2017 have been monumental, with the forward playing a key role in securing the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League title the following year.
His ability to deliver consistently at the highest level has made him a fan favorite and one of the most sought-after players in world football.
While Salah remains focused on team success, his comments indicate a growing gap between player and club in reaching an agreement.
Liverpool’s management faces mounting pressure to secure a deal or risk losing one of their most influential players.
As the January transfer window approaches, speculation surrounding Salah’s future is likely to intensify.
For now, however, the Egyptian remains a crucial figure in Liverpool’s pursuit of another Premier League crown.
