Egyptian international Mohamed Salah has scored 214 goals for Liverpool so far this season, and the living legend of the club has scored in three consecutive games since the start of the season.
As well as his goals, he has also been exquisite in his assists from the penalty area, scoring three assists in three games as well as scoring a goal.
In the away game against Manchester United, Liverpool won comfortably with three goals and a clean sheet, despite being at Old Trafford. When interviewed after the game, Egyptian King revealed that he had not yet been spoken to by the club and publicly pressed the leaders to make a decision.
This action surprised not only supporters, but also former England international Alan Shearer, who scored numerous goals in the Premier League during his career. He also said that it was wise of him to speak out through the media at this time.
“I think it was a good move on Mo Salah’s part after playing such an important role in that win against Man United to come out and say he was treating it like his last season at the club.”
”A couple of assists, a really good goal, a player-of-the-match performance, and then being interviewed afterwards to say that no one has come to him or his agent about a contract, which I am amazed about.”
”The situation with him, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk, I’m really surprised they’ve allowed three big hitters to get to this stage. Mo was putting a message out there, there’s no doubt about that and whether they listen, whether they’re prepared to give him the length of contract he wants, or the money he wants, we’ll see. There are so many different factors.”
“He may want a big payday and go abroad; we know there was talk about him a few months back about him going to Saudi. Whether that’s what he wants or not I don’t know, but it was clever timing on his part to put that message out.”
