Mohamed Salah acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation at Liverpool following a commanding 2-0 victory over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
The Egyptian star set up Cody Gakpo’s opening goal before adding one of his own, further solidifying his status as a key player for the Reds.
With this performance, Salah equaled Wayne Rooney’s record of scoring and assisting in 36 Premier League matches, underscoring his pivotal role in Liverpool’s title challenge. However, despite his incredible form this season, Salah revealed that the lack of a new contract from the club has been weighing on his mind. His current deal runs until the end of the 2024-25 campaign, leading to speculation about his future.
“I will enjoy every second here,” Salah stated, reflecting on the electric atmosphere at Anfield. “Hopefully, we can win the league and see what will happen.”
Liverpool now sits nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table, emphasizing their dominance in the competition. The win marked Manchester City’s fourth consecutive league loss, leaving them struggling to keep pace.
Defender Virgil van Dijk praised the team’s solid performance, stating, “City are a fantastic team, but we were solid defensively.” He emphasized the importance of staying focused as the season progresses, reminding fans that “there are many twists and turns” ahead.
Next, Liverpool faces Newcastle United, followed by a Merseyside derby against struggling Everton, as they aim to maintain their league lead.
