Mo Salah and Harvey Elliott Provide Clarity on Their Liverpool Futures After Win Over Lille
After Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Lille in the Champions League, Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott have addressed questions regarding their futures at Anfield, offering intriguing responses.
Elliott Declares His Commitment to Liverpool
Harvey Elliott, who has recently been linked with a potential summer move—particularly to Newcastle—was firm when asked about his plans. Speaking to TNT Sports, he said: “It’s pretty clear… I’m not leaving.
This is my team, this is my club!” His statement reassured Liverpool fans that his future remains firmly tied to the club.
Salah’s Future Remains Uncertain
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires in June and who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, was more reserved. After scoring his 50th European goal for Liverpool in the win against Lille, Salah was asked if he could net another 50. He responded: “I am not sure about that, but I will give it my best.”
Salah continued, “Hopefully, I’m not the last one. I wasn’t focused on the record before the game. It’s something I’m very happy and proud of, especially because we won the game—that’s the most important thing.”
A Hard-Fought Victory for Liverpool
The match itself saw Liverpool maintain their dominance in the Champions League, securing a vital 2-1 win.
Salah opened the scoring, putting Liverpool in the lead, but Lille responded with an equalizer from Jonathan David after Aissa Mandi’s red card reduced them to 10 men. Ultimately, Harvey Elliott’s deflected shot sealed the win, ensuring the Reds’ continued supremacy in the group.
Liverpool’s Champions League Position Secure
With Barcelona’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Benfica, Liverpool still need just one more point to guarantee top spot in the group. The Reds are unbeaten in their last seven Champions League matches, and with 21 points from seven games, no team can overtake them.
A draw against PSV in their final group-stage match will ensure Liverpool finish in first place.
Both Salah and Elliott’s comments suggest a positive future for Liverpool as they continue to assert themselves on the European stage.
