Liverpool legend Ian Rush has expressed his fervent desire to witness Mohamed Salah extend his contract with the Reds. The 31-year-old Egyptian maestro, boasting an impressive record of 19 goals (12 goals and 7 assists) in 18 Premier League appearances this season, currently remains under contract with Liverpool until June 2025.
Despite Salah’s outstanding contributions to the club’s success, speculations abound that Liverpool is contemplating a substantial transfer deal with a Saudi Arabian club at the conclusion of the ongoing season.
Rush, who holds the esteemed record of 346 goals for Liverpool (with Salah at 202), conveyed his sentiments, saying, “I would love him to sign a new contract; that would be great. He is a complete professional, and young players can learn from him.”
Rush’s plea reflects the sentiment of countless Liverpool supporters who share the hope that Salah will continue to grace Anfield with his exceptional skills.
Emphasizing Salah’s importance to the team, Rush highlighted the Egyptian’s professionalism and goal-scoring prowess, affirming his place among Liverpool’s all-time greats.
Addressing the potential decision to leave, Rush drew on his own experience, stating, “I left because I wasn’t playing regularly.
I didn’t want to stay on the bench, and that’s what we have to see.” He acknowledged Salah’s current situation, asserting that there is no compelling reason for the prolific forward to depart given his incredible form and commitment to playing every match.
Salah’s achievements, including an impressive 200 goals, with 150 in the Premier League, position him alongside Liverpool legends like Steven Gerrard, according to Rush.
As speculation looms, the footballing world eagerly awaits Salah’s decision, with Liverpool fans echoing Rush’s sentiment that retaining the Egyptian star would be a monumental victory for the Reds.
