Mohamed Salah is, without a doubt, one of the great talents that Liverpool and the Premier League have, however, the Egyptian’s contract with Los ‘Reds’ ends next year, so the board is already doing everything possible to renew it.
Apparently The African wants to stay linked to Liverpool. At least that is what he implies with his constant statements, where he assures that he would love to continue in the team, but that it is not in his hands but in those of the team.
However, the ‘Pharaoh’ wants a considerable salary increase, and therein lies the problem for the ‘Reds’ board.
And it is that according to information from the British newspaper Mirror, Salah asked to win in his new contract 23 million euros (28 million dollars) per season something that the club flatly rejected and responded with a phrase that disappointed the Egyptian: “He wants to win like Cristiano Ronaldo.”
🚨 End of an era? 👀 According to the media @TeleFootball, Liverpool hesitate to extend Mohamed Salah’s contract. His 30 years raise doubts at Anfield, enough for the Egyptian to sign for a new long-term project.

TO Despite that, Liverpool’s denial does not mean that Salah will not continue with Liverpool. He still has a year on his contract, so the ‘Reds’ board will have time to sit down to negotiate and reach an agreement with the egyptian
⚠️Klopp on Mo Salah’s contract:
“Signing a big contract, it’s not like buying a smartphone where you only sign one thing and it’s done.”
“To be honest, I wouldn’t say there is a problem, they are conversations. There are many things to consider”
