Mohamed Salah is perhaps having his best season in his career, in a Liverpool that is flying high. In just 18 league matches, the 32-year-old has scored an incredible 17 goals and 13 assists.
But perhaps his best season will also be his last in the football club. The Egyptian is on a contract that expires after the season, and negotiations for a new one have almost come to a standstill. At least if you believe Salah himself.
Right now, it's far away, says Salah to Sky Sports and continues:
I don't want to throw anything out in the media that will get people to start speculating, but nothing has really changed. Now I'm just focused on the team and hopefully winning the Premier League.
But the situation may change very soon.
From January 1, when the transfer window opens, Salah will be able to start talking to other clubs about a free transfer in the summer. This is because there are only six months left on the contract, and then you can start negotiating with other clubs.
Whether this will get the club to increase the pace of the negotiations remains to be seen.
Even stars Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are on expiring contracts.
