There may be good news just around the corner for Liverpool in relation to Mo Salah’s future, as the Reds will soon secure a new deal for their star and complete what has been described as “the biggest signing in the January window” and with Fabrizio. Roguyo. provide an update on the saga.
Salah has been in impossible-to-resist form for Liverpool since arriving from Rome on a discounted £36. 9m in the summer of 2017. Top scorer in each of his seven full seasons so far at Anfield, the talisman Egyptian helped the Merseysiders win seven primary tournaments. honors at that time. However, with his contract expiring at the end of the current campaign, Reds fans were nervously awaiting news that an extension had been agreed with their star man.
With his form arguably never better for Liverpool – the 32-year-old already boasts 30-goal contributions to his name this season from 26 games so far – the Reds hierarchy are certainly under no illusions at the importance of nailing Salah down to a new deal.
And while the player has been quite vocal in expressing both his wish to stay and keeping the media informed of just how close an agreement is, there is, finally now, a growing confidence that the Reds are soon ready to announce the news their fans have all been waiting for.
If a deal is reached, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes the announcement will surpass any other deal reached in the Premier League in the winter window.
“Mohammed Salah could be the most important signing of the January window. You take a look at his fitness, his stats, the levels of functionality he is achieving, players can spend a lot more time now,” Robinson told BBC Sport. .
“He plays each and every game when he’s fit, with a rotation only if necessary. I’d be surprised if he didn’t sign a new contract [at Liverpool].
As has been documented, Salah has not hesitated to go ahead – perhaps in a way more agreeable to him – and accurately reveal the status of those negotiations.
And while he makes clear his ambitions to sign a new deal and continue at a club he readily admits he “loves”, Salah also revealed his main objectives to ensure Liverpool stay on track for the Premier League name, and potentially their English middle name. league crown in five seasons.
“The most important thing is for the team to win, I hope we win the Premier League,” Salah told Amazon Prime on Boxing Day. “It’s great, but we are focused on the game and I hope we continue like that. “It is different, but the most important thing is that we must remain humble.
“This one is very special. I hope we can win the Premier League and for this club that is all I dream of. “
From Liverpool/FSG’s perspective, however, there has been something of a radio silence, and the club obviously prefers to keep any discussions going until an announcement is made.
Coach Arne Slot performed very well on the pitch as the Reds were flying high, but also in the way he dealt with all questions relating to Salah and his teammates Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander, who will soon be out of contract. Arnaldo.
Speaking just last week, Slot stated: “It’s clear that from January 1, maybe for you guys, things change a lot but they are in constant talks with the club and let’s wait and see what happens,” said Slot. “As long as they keep performing like this, the head coach is happy.
“In general, I am not talking about contractual conditions here. It would be wonderful if I were the one to announce that one of them is extended. Keep asking, it’s your task, but you probably won’t get an answer from me.
However, good news is now imminent for Liverpool, with Romano offering an update on the saga and highlighting the progress Liverpool have made under Salah.
“Salah said that we were still far from [signing a new contract] when he asked about the good news related to the contract,” Romano began on his YouTube channel. “Mo demonstrated once in public (after the game against West Ham) that the new contract is not yet closed with Liverpool.
“Let me also say what Liverpool think about it because Mo speaks in public on several occasions, yet Liverpool do not respond.
“That is, of course, Liverpool’s public position, because Arne Slot doesn’t need to mention anything about contracts in every press conference. Surely this is something that we will have to respect.
“But behind the scenes, Liverpool insist they are negotiating with all three players – Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold.
“Surely they are pushing with all of them and especially with Van Dijk and Salah. Liverpool are confident to find a way, find an agreement.
“But at the moment, still no breakthrough in negotiations. So the talks continue and Liverpool maintain that they keep insisting, they keep talking. But at the moment there is no green light.
“For Trent, as I have told you many times, Real Madrid is there, nothing has been done or agreed yet [between Alexander-Arnold and Real Madrid]. “
As Romano testifies, Liverpool remain the greatest danger of wasting Alexander-Arnold from the trio, and the Reds will soon be informed of their vice-captain’s decision.
To that end, trusted journalist David Ornstein has provided a timely update on the saga and revealed when both Real Madrid and Liverpool can expect an answer over the player’s future.
