Salah on Liverpool future: ‘No-one at the club has spoken to me about contracts’
Mohamed Salah has dropped a big hint on his future at Liverpool after confirming there have been no contract talks between him and the club.
The Egyptian continued his fine start to the Premier League season under new manager Arne Slot with his third goal in as many games after a fine finish against Manchester United.
Salah notched his tenth goal at Old Trafford in the process, but questions continue to circle about his future at the Reds with his contract set to expire next summer.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, the 32-year-old confirmed that although contract talks have yet to begin, his focus is on solely on his football.
“I just want to enjoy it and I don’t want to think about it,” Salah said. “I feel like I’m free to play football and then we’ll see what happens next year.
“Coming into the game, I said it could be the last time [I play here with Liverpool].
“No-one at the club has spoken to me about contracts, so I’m just like, ‘OK, I’m playing my last season’ and see what happens at the end of the season.
“So far, we don’t know with which club, but so far yeah my last game here with Liverpool. It’s not up to me but nobody talk to me about a contract with the club. We’ll see.”
Slot refused to comment on the speculation for his star forward, focusing on the performance from the 32-year-old:
“It’s a lot of ‘if’,” he said. “At this moment, he is one of ours and I am really happy with him being one of ours and he played really well.
“I don’t talk about contracts from players but I can talk for hours about how Mo played today.”
