Egyptian international Mohamed Salah joined from AS Roma and is now an Anfield legend. He formed a strong front three with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino and has continued to lead Liverpool’s attack since their departure.
He has contributed to the team’s victories this season, both in terms of goals and assists, and has been a driving force in a slot system that continues to go from strength to strength.
However, with his contract with Liverpool coming to an end in June 2025, discussions are underway on whether or not he will sign a new contract.
With Egyptian King saying that no terms have been agreed at the moment and no offers have been made by the club, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said that his salary should not be reduced, but condemned the act of revealing contract developments to the press.
“If Liverpool are saying ‘we’re only going to give him a year’s contract and we want him to take a big reduction in wages’, I don’t think that’s right,”
“I don’t think more, I think he’s still one of the highest paid players. I don’t think he should get less money, he’s still the best player in the team, him and Virgil van Dijk.”
“For me it’ll be a two-year contract but if he’s willing to sign a year’s contract and then Liverpool don’t get that deal done, I can assure you I’ll do a 180, I’ll be looking at the club.”
“My criticism of Mo Salah isn’t because of the contract, it’s speaking publicly when Liverpool are in such a great position.”
