Liverpool managed Arne Slot has botched to comment about Mohammed Salah’s contract situation at the club.
Salah is in the final year of his contract and has since not being offered a new contract at the club.
The Egyptian was on target when his outfit cruised to a 2-0 win over Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, declaring it would be his last game against City as a Liverpool player.
“Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 accusations for (Man City) not to be in the Premier League next season and I do expect them in the Premier League next season.
“The boring answer is always the same. This is not the place for me to talk about Salah’s contract and maybe already, I’ve said too much about the joke I just made. That will probably get the headlines.
“It was a joke. I repeat, it was a joke.”
The 32-year-old winger has been outstanding since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017 from AS Roma.
Salah has been Liverpool’s main man this season, scoring 10 goals and providing 6 assists in 12 appearances in the English Premier League.
