The good news was delivered to Liverpool fans. After Mohamed Salah made a bombshell, Liverpool entered negotiations to renew the contract.
British media ‘Give Me Sports’ reported on the 8th (Korea time) that “Riverpool’s discussion on renewing Mohamed Salah’s contract is not over at all.”
The media first mentioned Salah’s bombshell remarks that shocked fans. Salah, whose contract with Liverpool expires in June 2025, drew attention by saying this season is his last season in Liverpool after winning a rival match against Manchester United.
Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-0 on the 2nd at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, thanks to Luis Díaz’s multi-goal and Mohamed Salah’s additional goal in the third round of the 2024-25 Premier League.
Liverpool, which was canceled in the 7th minute of the first half after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first goal was declared offside as a result of VAR reading, began to take the lead again in the 35th minute of the first half. Manchester United midfielder Casemiro’s pass miss was used to counterattack, and Díaz finished Salah’s cross with a header to break the net.
Soon after, the gap widened. Again, Casemiro made a mistake. Díaz stole the ball from Casemiro through pressure and launched a counterattack, and Díaz pushed Salah’s pass with his right foot to lead the team to a 2-0 victory.
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United made changes without Casemiro, but was beaten by Liverpool for the third goal. It became 3-0 when Salah lightly finished the pass pushed by Dominic Sobosler.
Liverpool showed perfect goal-scoring ability by scoring all three shots on goal, and won a three-goal victory in an away match for Manchester United. Notably, Salah played a one-man show with one goal and two assists, contributing to the North West Derby’s complete victory.
Liverpool fans were in a festive mood because they defeated their arch-rival. However, after the game, Salah made a comment that made Liverpool fans’ hearts race. He claimed that this could be his last season in Liverpool.
“I enjoyed my summer vacation. I spent a lot of time trying to keep a positive mind,” Salah told Sky Sports. “As you all know, this is my last season in Liverpool.”
“I just want to enjoy the rest of the time. I don’t want to think about this or that. I want to play soccer in a relaxed mood and see what happens next year,” he added.
As Salah claims, if Liverpool does not start negotiations to extend the contract or reach an agreement in the renewal negotiations, Salah will leave Liverpool after the 2024-25 season. Saudi Arabia is showing great interest ahead of the expiration of Salah, a world-renowned soccer star.
Fortunately, good news was delivered to Liverpool fans. After Salah made a bombshell remark after the match against Manchester United, Liverpool decided to start negotiations on renewing contracts with players who are about to expire, including Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, because their contracts last until June 2026.
“Mohamed Sala hinted this could be his last Premier League season in Liverpool after defeating Manchester United 3-0,” the media said. “Reporter Fabrizio Romano said it may not be Sala’s transfer at all. Liverpool will negotiate to extend the contract period for Sala, Van Dijk and Arnold.”
Italian journalist Romano is well known as a journalist who actively participates in social networking services and reports on transfer rumors and interviews of various clubs and players. He is also famous for using the phrase “here we go” when a player’s transfer or renewal seems to be confirmed.
According to the media, reporter Romano appeared on the podcast and said, “Liverpool should discuss with Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and of course the same will happen to Virgil van Dijk.”
“So there will be a conversation to understand the future of these players,” he said. “For now, the conversation between Salah and Liverpool is not over at all. The conversation will continue, and we will see how the discussion on the project, the contract, the contract period and, of course, the salary will proceed.”
“This is always very important, so the conversation has to go ahead,” he said. “And then we will understand the final future of Mohamed Salah.”
World-renowned soccer star Salah became the Liverpool legend striker after joining Liverpool back in 2017. He has scored 214 goals and 92 assists in 352 appearances for Liverpool over the past seven years.
Salah became a world-class striker representing the Premier League as he became the top scorer of the Premier League three times while in Liverpool. In the 2021-22 season, he scored 23 goals in the Premier League and became the joint top scorer with South Korean soccer star Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur).
Thanks to Salah’s performance, Liverpool has won a total of eight trophies over the past seven years by winning one Premier League, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup, one Community Shield, one FA Cup and two Carabao Cups.
In all competitions last season, Salah scored 25 goals and 14 assists in 44 matches, which was the highest number of offensive points in his team. With outstanding performances every year, Salah became one of the best recruiters in Liverpool history.
Salah, who was born in 1992 and is turning 32 this year, has displayed the best performance in the Premier League this season as well. Salah scored three goals and three assists in three matches since the opening of the 2024-25 season, and posted as many as six offensive points.
Liverpool fans were worried about Salah leaving Liverpool after the end of this season due to the expiration of his contract. In particular, Saudi Arabian clubs are known to attract Salah with astronomical salaries, so fans’ anxiety has not subsided.
The Saudi professional league’s RETHAD had sought to recruit Salah last summer as well. At that time, Saudi Arabia offered an astronomical amount of nearly 175 million euros (about 251.5 billion won) for Salah’s transfer, but was rejected by Liverpool.
It is difficult to predict at this point what the conversation will lead to, but it is positive news that Liverpool has begun discussions about renewing its contract with Salah. Attention is expected to be focused on whether Liverpool legend Salah will continue his career in the Premier League next season. 메이저사이트
