🚨⚽Mo Salah’s recent exit comments had hidden message for Liverpool chiefs

Mohamed Salah extended his impressive scoring streak against Manchester United, netting a goal for the seventh consecutive game against them during Liverpool’s dominant 3-0 win at Old Trafford. Besides scoring, Salah also assisted Luis Diaz twice, showcasing another stellar performance. However, it was Salah’s post-match comments that caught the most attention.

In his interview with Sky Sports after the match, Salah hinted at uncertainty about his future with Liverpool, saying, “I was coming to the game, I was saying, ‘look, it could be the last time. Nobody in the club talked to me yet about contracts so I was just like, ‘OK, I play my last season and see at the end of the season’. I feel I am free to play football – we will see what happens next year.” His remarks suggested that this might be his last appearance at Old Trafford, sparking concern among fans about his future at Liverpool.

Reports indicate that Salah’s comments might be part of a strategic move to increase his leverage in contract negotiations with Liverpool. While Salah is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, allowing him to discuss pre-contract agreements with clubs outside England as early as January, his preference remains to continue his career at Anfield. His recent media remarks are believed to be a deliberate tactic to highlight his value and nudge Liverpool towards offering him a new contract. Despite nearing the age of 33, Salah is unwilling to accept a pay cut from his current £350,000-per-week wage, maintaining his stance as the highest-paid player at the club.

Salah’s desire to stay in England is further evidenced by his response to a substantial offer from Saudi club Al-Ittihad last year. Despite Liverpool rejecting a £150 million bid from the Saudi Pro League side, Salah has reiterated his commitment to Liverpool, reinforcing his intention to continue playing at the highest level in European football.
