Liverpool, maintaining their strong start to the season, remain at the top of the table following a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, with Mohamed Salah converting a penalty and Curtis Jones netting a poacher’s goal.

Despite the positive form, the club is concerned about the contracts of three key players, all set to expire at the end of the season. Jamie Carragher, however, is confident that Salah will sign a new deal to pursue Premier League records, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at Anfield as his contract runs out next summer.

Salah, the face of Liverpool and their talismanic hero since 2017, has cemented his place as arguably the greatest modern player in the club’s history. With an astounding 313 goal contributions in just 360 appearances, he has been pivotal to Liverpool’s success.

Earning £350,000 per week, Salah is the third-highest earner in the Premier League, behind only Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. While fans are concerned about the winger’s potential departure with his contract nearing its end, Jamie Carragher believes otherwise, confident that Salah will stay to chase even more records at Anfield.

The Liverpool Legend’s thoughts

Salah’s latest contribution, a crucial penalty in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea, marked his fifth Premier League goal of the campaign. This goal moved him level with Jermaine Defoe on 163 top-flight goals, just one behind Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler and 13 short of Arsenal’s Thierry Henry.

Jamie Carragher believes that Salah’s hunger for breaking these records will play a significant role in convincing him to stay at Anfield beyond the summer, reassuring fans who worry about his potential departure.

“Of course there will talk about money and length of contract, but I think these are the things that really get the juices flowing for Mo Salah, he breaks every record at Liverpool.

“But getting up as far as he can up those lists are a big part of his focus as a player. I’m not saying he’s selfish, he’s a great team player.”
