Liverpool manager Arne Slot has encouraged Mohamed Salah to sign a new contract with the club amid ongoing speculation about his future.
The Egyptian forward, whose deal expires in June, has been linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Slot expressed his desire to see Salah remain at Anfield.
“Definitely, because if he ticks all the right boxes, even for us, we’d love to have him,” Slot said.
The Dutch coach acknowledged the strong interest from Saudi Arabia but insisted that Liverpool are equally eager to retain their talisman.
“We want him to extend, of course, as well,” he added. “That is clear, but I’m not surprised that Saudi wants him.
I’m also not surprised if other countries want him as well.
Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Salah has been in outstanding form this season.
Slot believes the 31-year-old will make the best decision for himself and for Liverpool.
He’s old and wise enough, he’s done so many smart things in his career that he will make the right decision for himself and hopefully for us as well.
With Salah’s contract situation unresolved, Liverpool fans will be hoping their star forward commits his future to the club.
