An increasingly frustrated Mohamed Salah would be willing to accept a one-year contract extension at Liverpool but is still awaiting an initial offer from the club, according to a report.
The psychodrama surrounding Salah’s deal, which expires in 2025, has taken a back seat for the first four months of the campaign. Liverpool – and the striker himself – have barely been swayed by the contract situation based on his performance on the pitch, but Salah’s disdain for radio silence has become more apparent in recent weeks.
When the Declared before 32 years His team’s recent victory over the Premier League champions as “the last City game I will play with Liverpool”, was just the latest bombshell is a verbal bombardment. Salah described himself as “more outside than inside” after scoring twice in a 3-2 win against Southampton in November and he has posted cryptic messages on social media.
reports since last month claimed Liverpool and Salah’s representatives were “far apart” in negotiations over a new contract. The Athletic they have now revealed that the Egypt international would agree to a one-year extension on his current terms.
salah he became the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history when he was awarded a basic salary worth £350,000-a-week in 2022. Once performance-related bonuses and sponsorship deals are factored in, the winger’s prolific agent revealed that his client earns over £1 million per week.
However, with less than a month until January transfer window opens, Liverpool have yet to make an active offer to the future free agent. Salah, as he has made abundantly clear with his public outbursts, has grown increasingly exasperated by the club’s approach.
Paris Saint-Germain emerged as an interested suitor should Salah be available on a free transfer this summer, while Barcelona has also been linked. The former Roma striker who arrived on Merseyside in 2017 is believed to be prioritizing an extension at Liverpool but will be allowed to enter into formal talks with foreign clubs to sign a pre-contract agreement from January 1.
Liverpool’s negotiations with Salah – or lack thereof – may be influenced by the uncertain futures of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. The two first-team defenders are also out of contract in 2025 and have yet to enter the advanced stage of talks with the club over any deal.
