Yesterday at 02:30 AM
Mohamed Salah has emerged as the talk of the town due to his exploits on and off the pitch for Liverpool this season.
The Egyptian has been the best player in the world under Arne Slot and has spearheaded his side to the top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League standings.
Salah already has 21 goals to his name in the current campaign, but his contract situation still hangs in the balance as Liverpool work to tie him down to a new deal.
And now, Lewis Steele has shared what he’s about his future as he delivered an interesting update on the Liverpool forward.
Liverpool sources divided about Mohamed Salah’s future
With his current deal set to expire at the end of the season, Salah has been locked in talks with the club, but the possibility of him leaving on a free transfer remains.
He last signed a contract extension in 2022 and became the highest-paid player in the club’s history.
Since then, he has taken his game to another level and shown no signs of slowing down, putting the club in an interesting position.
Liverpool have offered Salah a new contract, but they haven’t managed to get him to sign on the dotted line.
Steele says he has heard contrasting things about where he stands with regard to a new contract.
"I've heard contrasting things on this,” said Steele on the Talking Reds podcast.
“One guy told me they were closing in on a deal and another guy said they're miles away. So probably somewhere in the middle."
What has Salah recently said about his future?
Salah hasn’t shied away from sharing his thoughts with the media and was at it once again last week.
Before Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Manchester United, the 32-year-old said he was no closer to signing a new deal at Anfield, reiterating that it’s his last season at the club as things stand currently.
When asked if he really believes this is his last season at the club, he said to Sky Sports: “So far, yes. It’s the last six months.
“There is no progress there. We are far away from any progress. So, we just need to wait and see.”
