Mohamed Salah is becoming a sensational case. The right wing of the Liverpool with 12 goals and 10 assists so far this season he is not enjoying his contractual situation with the English club very well. “It’s almost December and I haven’t received any renewal offers yet, so I’m probably more out than in,” complained the Egyptian in the mixed zone after the 3-2 defeat to Southampton. But there it is: without renewal at the end of the season he can say goodbye to Anfield and a long and intense adventure that began in 2017, after leaving Roma.
The latest on the renewal
According to what was explained by Sky Sports UK the discussion is much broader than a simple renewal. In fact, the stakes and risks for him and Liverpool are decidedly large, with time however on no one’s side. In 34 days Salah could easily sign a pre-agreement with another foreign club, while in 7 months he could say goodbye and settle elsewhere as free agents. The fact is that the Egyptian is now a precious symbol in the history of Redsas well as for his fans and favorites, then in terms of performance on the pitch, already being in double figures between goals and assists at the end of November and risking having to say goodbye in the absence of a new agreement leaves everyone stunned.
What’s the problem?
The fact is, as reported by the English satellite broadcaster, that Liverpool have yet to make an offer worth considering for Salahnot even potentially modifiable, so there is great distance between the parties. This is because the club is also grappling with two other huge problems such as the future of Virgil van Dijk and that of Trent Alexander-Arnold, both of whom expire at the end of the season. And at the moment the most complex negotiation is the one with Salah, given his value on and off the pitch. However, according to a background story, the conversations are there and were born in October. It is suspected that everything was born from the farewell of Jurgen Klopp and the curiosity to see the impact that Slot would have had in Liverpool. Meanwhile, tranquility filters through the club regarding Salah’s stay, but at this rate… the risk of seeing him leave increases more and more.
