Mohamed Salah is close to signing a new contract with Liverpool, according to the Sunday Mirror. The Egyptian’s current contract with the club will expire in 2023. Salah and the club had already broken down in discussions, leaving supporters apprehensive about the player’s future, according to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano.
Since joining the Reds from AS Roma in 2017, the 29-year-old has been a revelation. In 240 games with the Merseyside Riders, he has 153 goals and 57 assists in all competitions. He has also acquired several awards, including the Premier League title (2019-20) and the Champions League trophy (2018-19). Salah has won the Golden Boot award twice in the Premier League (2017-18 and 2018-19). In fact, in his first season of 2017-18, he set a new Premier League record for the most goals (32) scored in a single 38-game season. With 117 goals in the English Premier League, he is also the best-scoring African player.
As a result, it’s a foregone conclusion that the Reds will want to keep their best player. Salah has also been outstanding this season. In 37 appearances in all competitions, he has 28 goals and 10 assists. With 20 goals so far this season, he tops the Premier League goalscoring lists. Liverpool will very certainly increase their attempts to keep him at Anfield beyond 2023 since he is just growing better.
