Speaking to Anfield Watch (h/t Liverpool Echo), reliable transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claimed that Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have begun dialogue over a new contract.
However, nothing is at an ‘advanced’ stage yet. Salah’s current deal expires in 2023 and with each passing week, anxiety grows amongst the Liverpool faithful regarding Salah’s long-term future. But Romano claims that talks have begun between the two parties.
“His [contract talks between the club and Salah] is not at the final stages yet. They [the club and Salah] have been talking but nothing is advanced yet.”
It’s not like the club is averse to offering new contracts to players. Just in the past few weeks, Caiomhin Kelleher, Adrian, and Harvey Elliott have all been handed new deals.
There is no doubt that the club, and the fans, would want to avoid a repeat of the Georginio Wijnaldum situation. The Dutchman ran down his contract at the club this summer and joined PSG as a free agent.
Salah is quite clearly the main for the Reds when it comes to their attacking arsenal. The Egyptian has scored 125
goals and provided 47 assists in 203 games for the club since joining from AS Roma four years back.Salah is one of the highest-paid players at Liverpool with a weekly salary of £200,000-a-week. Since the contract talks are not an advanced stage, as stated above, there is no concrete information regarding any potential wage increase for the former Roma man at Anfield.
But if his performances are to go by, he certainly deserves it. In a catastrophic season for Liverpool which saw them lose numerous players to injury and win no silverware, the 29-year-old kept fit and finished as their top-scorer, missing out on the Premier League golden boot by just one goal.
