18 games into Liverpool’s 2024-25 season and Mohamed Salah already has 12 goals and 10 assists to his name. What he is almost out of though, is a contract at Liverpool and the Egyptian has made it clear that the English Premier League club have now delayed matters to such an extent that he’s more out of the club, than in the club.
“Well, we are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club,” the 32-year-old said. “I’m probably more out than in.”
He added: “You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future.”
As of now Salah remains within reach of a contract with Liverpool but in another five weeks, the club legend will be able to negotiate contracts with other teams for next season. A pre-season contract signed in January will mean that Liverpool would then be unable to hold onto their star player. Salah is reportedly on a salary of 350,000 pounds a week, a number usually reserved for the league’s world-class players. At 32, that might be a number that has caused Liverpool to baulk considering his age.
Salah isn’t the only player out of a contract with club captain Virgil Van Djik and right-back Trent Alexander Arnold also out of a contract next summer.
The winger said that he hadn’t spoken to the club about the delay in the contract. “I’m not going to retire soon so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I’m disappointed but we will see.”
