Egyptian football legend, Mohamed Salah spoke on his uncertainty over his Liverpool future, acknowledging his contract situation was getting “in his head”.
The former Chelsea and AS Roma attacker set up Cody Gakpo’s opener and then scored Liverpool’s second in a dominant 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
Despite Salah’s sensational form this season, a cloud hangs over him, with the 32-year-old having said last week Liverpool were yet to offer him a new deal.
Salah’s contract runs out at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, and as it stands, he will be leaving the Reds.
He told Sky Sports: “Honestly, it’s in my head. Right now, this is the last City game I will play for Liverpool [at Anfield], so I was just going to enjoy it.
“The atmosphere was incredible so I will enjoy every second here. Hopefully, we just win the league and will see what will happen.”
Mohamed Salah has now scored and assisted in 36 Premier League games, the joint-most by a player in the competition’s history, equalling Wayne Rooney’s record.
Liverpool are now nine points clear at the top of the table, while they moved 11 points ahead of fifth-placed City, who lost a fourth straight league match and face Newcastle United on Wednesday before taking on Everton, who were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester United on Sunday, in the final league Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
