“This is my last year at the club” – Mohamed Salah.

In a shocking turn of events, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah made a declaration after helping the Reds defeat rivals Manchester United and maintain an unbeaten record in the Premier League. 

Liverpool expressed their intention early on, with Trent Alexander-Arnold scoring a quick opener, only to have the celebration cut short due to an offside call against Salah. 

However, in the 35th minute, Salah’s precise cross found Luis Diaz, who headed the ball into an empty net with Onana drawn to the other side of the goal.

Shortly after, the former Porto winger scored again, smoothly combining with Salah and effortlessly slotting the ball home.

Salah then added to the goal tally, delivering a clean finish in the 56th minute after being skillfully set up by Dominic Szoboszlai, leaving Onana helpless.

What Salah said 

Salah, along with Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander Arnold, have had their contract situations be a major talking point over the summer.

The trio have deals running out soon, with Salah specifically having a contract that expires at the end of the season. Following the game, Salah sent a clear message to the club’s leadership, as he told reporters this will be his last season at Liverpool, as he has not been presented with a renewal offer. 

 “I had a good summer, I had a long time to work on myself and think positively because, as you know, this is my last year at the club,” Salah told reporters after the match. 

“I just want to enjoy it, and I don’t want to think about it. I feel free to play football, and we’ll see what happens next year.

“Heading into the game, I said ‘look, this could be the last time. Nobody has spoken to me about a contract, so I’ll play my last season, and see at the end of the season. It’s not up to me; it’s up to the club, but we will see.”

Salah has been strongly linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League. Should he leave Liverpool at the end of his contract this summer, it is expected that he will make a big money to the SPFL.
