Mohamed Salah has reaffirmed his commitment to Liverpool for the upcoming season, despite ongoing speculation about his long-term future at the club. The Egyptian star, now 32, enters the final year of his contract with the Reds.
Salah’s Contract Situation
“I just came for a season and was like: ‘I have one year left so just let’s enjoy it’,” Salah told Sky Sports News. “Don’t think about the contract now, don’t think about anything now, let’s just enjoy it. I don’t want to think about next year or about the future. Let’s enjoy the last year and we’ll see.” [1]
Salah’s current deal, signed in July 2022, reportedly makes him the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history, with wages exceeding €410,000 per week.
Chiesa Deal Nears Completion
As discussions about Salah’s future continue, Liverpool are on the verge of signing Italian winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus. The 26-year-old arrived on Merseyside on Wednesday for his medical, with the transfer fee reported to be an initial €11.6 million plus add-ons.
Slot’s Faith in Salah
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has expressed confidence in Salah’s longevity. “I see what he does to keep his body as it is to be ready to play every game, so I think there are many more years inside of him to play,” Slot said after Liverpool’s recent 2-0 win at Ipswich Town.
Saudi Interest Persists
Despite Liverpool’s reported rejection of a €175 million offer from Al-Ittihad last September, rumours of Saudi interest in Salah continue. Some reports suggest Liverpool might consider offers around €116 million for the player, given his age and contract situation.
As Liverpool prepare for their crucial match against Manchester United this Sunday, all eyes will be on Salah’s performance and any hints about his future plans.
