Arne Slot’s comments after Liverpool’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle have sparked fresh speculation regarding Mo Salah’s future at the club.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Salah’s contract, with just seven months remaining, the Egyptian forward again proved his worth by scoring twice and assisting Curtis Jones’ equalizer.
Slot, who spoke highly of Salah’s impact, made a comment that hinted at a positive outcome in the ongoing contract saga: “Every time we need him, he scores an important goal. We are hoping and expecting that he can continue this for a long time.”
The praise continued as Slot highlighted Salah’s resilience, noting that despite a quiet first hour, Salah produced an assist, two goals, and came close to scoring with a shot off the bar.
This praise has added to growing speculation that Salah might soon extend his stay at Anfield. Reports suggest Salah, who is reportedly keen to remain at Liverpool, may be open to a one-year extension, keeping him at the club until 2026.
With Salah’s impressive tally of 15 goals and 12 assists this season, fans will be hoping for a resolution to the contract saga soon.
Slot’s comments have reignited hopes that Salah will continue his journey at Liverpool, and with his importance to the team more evident than ever, it seems likely that both parties will come to an agreement before too long.
