While Liverpool’s season has exceeded expectations under Arne Slot, who is already being hailed as a revolutionary with just one loss so far, not everything is smooth behind the scenes. Fans are now questioning why the club has yet to renew the contract of their talismanic winger, Mohamed Salah, despite him being their most important player for the past few seasons.
According to TBR, Liverpool and Mohamed Salah face several unresolved issues that are delaying a potential new contract agreement. Talks between the two parties have reportedly been ongoing for months, with Liverpool attempting to expedite discussions during recent international breaks. However, significant obstacles persist, preventing the club from even being able to present a formal contract offer to their Egyptian superstar.
Contract Length Disparity Clouds Salah’s Anfield Future
TBR Football reports that the length of Mohamed Salah’s contract is a major stumbling block in negotiations for a new deal. Both parties acknowledge that they are far from reaching an agreement on this point, which has prevented Liverpool from making an official offer so far.
Salah, who turns 33 this summer, is reportedly seeking a three-year deal or a two-year agreement with an optional extension based on performance or playing time. However, with Salah currently earning over £350,000 per week, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are wary of committing to a long-term contract due to concerns over a potential decline in form, despite his impressive performances this season under Arne Slot.
While FSG have expressed a clear desire to keep Salah at Anfield, other unresolved issues also complicate negotiations. As a result, talks over a new deal remain far from being finalised.
The talismanic winger, who has been nothing short of a messiah for the Reds, deserves no doubts over his importance. Here’s a staggering stat: Salah has contributed to 332 goals in 367 matches. This alone underscores just how vital the Egyptian is to Liverpool’s success. Salah has visibly shown his displeasure as the Egyptian wants to continue and has many more years to him.

Salah has attracted interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain, but the Saudi Pro League appears most determined to secure his signature. However, Liverpool would be unwise not to meet his demands, given everything the Egyptian has accomplished for the club.
