Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott has been ‘begging’ Mohamed Salah to renew his contract
While speaking in an interview as quoted by Daily Mail, Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott has revealed that he has taken great measures to persuade Mohamed Salah to stay at the club beyond his current contract term.
Mohamed Salah has become the biggest star of the current Liverpool team after consistently putting in sensational performances in the last few seasons. The Egyptian has enjoyed a great 2021/22 season by scoring 31 goals and providing 16 assists in 50 appearances across all competitions.
Despite the breathtaking output, the 29-year-old hasn’t been able to get what he wants from his Liverpool renewal deal. As a result, Salah hasn’t signed any contract extension yet, meaning he would be free to leave the club once his current deal ends with the Merseyside team.
The Egyptian’s contact dilemma is a matter of concern for Liverpool supporters and players. Reds’ youngster Harvey Elliott recently revealed that he has been requesting Salah to pen down a new deal at Liverpool every single day.
“I’ve been begging [Salah] to sign every single day, and I think the fans have as well. He’s been a great asset to this club, he’s got us to so many finals by scoring winning goals, important goals.”
The 19-year-old has suggested that he has learned a lot from the Egyptian striker and still tries to understand the small details that make him a top player. Elliott even added that Salah’s humbleness makes him a great companion.
“He’s a great person to learn off and I’ve tried to get really close to him for the small details so I can be up there with him one day.”
Would Liverpool be able to stop Salah from leaving?
Salah has been a superior performer for Liverpool and has helped the team reach significant heights in the last few campaigns. Hence, it might be very difficult for the Reds to replace such a crucial player even if they splash the cash.
Salah has shown commitment and extra effort whenever he features for Liverpool and seems to have formed a great bond with the coaching staff, colleagues and fans. He has previously suggested in interviews that he wants to continue at Anfield which reflects that his heart lies at Liverpool.
