Egyptian international Mohamed Salah is in ongoing talks with Liverpool to renew his contract.
He has publicly stated the progress of negotiations and his love for Anfield, and his performances this season have been reminiscent of his prime, but there is an impression that he is finding it difficult to agree terms with the club due to his age.
Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly trying to acquire him when his contract expires.
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has stated that he cannot imagine himself in a non-Liverpool uniform and has stated his opinion that he will stay.
“Mo Salah is out of contract but there’s a good chance he stays at Liverpool. You can’t plan these things, though, and I’m sure he’s desperate to get it sorted.”
“If they were to win the league and Champions League, it might be a good time to go out on a bang and go to another club, time will tell them.”
“Any club would be foolish not to sign Salah and show interest in January. Typically you would have to be careful about strikers or offensive players hitting the age of 32.”
“With Salah there are no issues. The question will be, after having such a great time at Liverpool will he want to play anywhere else? He has played at Chelsea previously – which didn’t work out for him.”
“This is something only he could decide. Personally, I can’t see him in anything other than a Liverpool shirt.”
“I’m sure a lot of teams would love to take him. I would give him a couple of years and then would like to see what happens because anything can happen at his age. The way he has been speaking, I don’t think he has any intention to leave. I think he will stay.”

Egyptian King has led his team to victory not only with goals but also with numerous assists. Although still active, he has already become a legend, not only at the club but also in the history of the Premier League.
Will the rare striker stay at Anfield beyond next season, or, as Hamann points out, leave the team with the title as a souvenir?
