I want to end my career at Liverpool but it’s not in my hands, Salah is clear
Mohamed Salah is without question one of the best players at his position in recent times, if not the best at all. Moreover, he has signed a contract with Liverpool until 2023 and could be perfectly at ease, but these days his future will be decided.
Mohamed Salah is without question one of the best players at his position in recent times, if not the best at all. Moreover, he has signed a contract with Liverpool until 2023 and could be perfectly at ease, but these days his future will be decided.
Jürgen Klopp, for whom the Egyptian striker has been a key figure in his recent successes, also hinted at this in his press conference. 137 goals scored in 214 games speaks for itself!
But he probably won’t reach the top scorer in Reds history. Ian Rush has scored 346 goals. But the 5th place in the historical goalscorers table is definitely realistic, which is held by legendary midfielder Steven Gerrard with 186 goals.
“If you ask me, I would like to stay here until the last day of my football career, but I can’t talk more about it, it’s not in my hands,” Salah told Sky Sports about his future.
And it’s no wonder the Egyptian national team captain would love to stay at Liverpool already. After all, he already has a number of engagements under his belt. He made his first appearance in Europe in 2012 in a Basel jersey. However, he really started to thrive only after his departure to AS Roma, from where Liverpool bought him for 42 million euros in 2017.
“It’s all about what the club wants, not me. But at the moment, I can’t imagine going up against Liverpool. I would be sad about that, but we’ll see what happens,” the Egyptian striker continued.
Moreover, Salah could be said to be maturing like wine. In the current season he has already scored 12 goals in 11 games and assisted 4 more. In addition, Klopp’s attacking trident of Mané – Firmino – Salah is back in full swing. It is therefore no wonder that the German coach wants to keep his gem in his team.
Then on Sunday, we will have a big footballing feast when Liverpool visit Old Trafford to defend their unbeaten run of 18 league games.
Liverpool are second in the current Premier League table, one point behind leaders Chelsea, who face Norwich today. So scoring against Manchester United will be very important for the Reds players!
