Mohamed Salah wants to stay at Liverpool but is closer to an exit, according to his former team-mate Dejan Lovren.
Salah’s contract expires this summer and despite the 32-year-old Egyptian winger having played a key role in the Reds’ Premier League campaign, scoring 21 goals and providing 13 assists in 23 games, helping the Reds to the top of the table, talks over a new deal have yet to be finalised.
Lovren, who was a team-mate of Salah between 2017 and 2020, told reporters earlier this week:
“We still keep in touch and talk from time to time. I have to be careful what I say because I know a lot.” The Croatian, now with เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย in Greece, began.
“Salah believes that there are a lot of things missing from the club and the situation is that he is closer to leaving than staying. I can go into much more detail. “
Hopefully the parties will talk things out. I don’t know the exact figures but, to be honest, whatever Salah asks for, he deserves it for what he does on the pitch. It’s as simple as that.
“You shouldn’t look at the age. Some people say Salah is going to be 33, but Cristiano Ronaldo is 40 and still playing. Salah is in great physical and mental shape. “Salah
is still a national player, he is seven or eight years younger than Ronaldo, so what is the problem? Nobody can find the answer to that. That’s what I find hard to understand. “
In the end I came to the conclusion that the club didn’t respect Salah enough, or at least not as much as Salah thought he should have, but that’s another story behind the scenes. “
Salah loves Liverpool very much and wants to stay, that’s the most important thing. Maybe he sees himself retiring there, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen. “
However, in the end it’s not the people who are Salah, it’s the people who are on the other side and if he leaves, the Saudi league is becoming more competitive. “
If Salah moves to Saudi, he will become one of the biggest stars in the league and it will be a huge marketing boost. Of course, a lot of fans will be following him. We’ll see if it happens.”
