Mohamed Salah Feels More Out Than In At Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has said he is yet to receive a new contract offer from Liverpool and feels “more out than in” as he nears the end of his existing deal.

The 32-year-old once again demonstrated his value to the Reds, scoring two goals to help them secure a 3-2 comeback victory against Southampton on Sunday.

However, his remarks after the match are likely to heighten fans’ concerns that the Egyptian forward might depart on a free transfer this summer.

“Well, we are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club,” Salah told reporters. “I’m probably more out than in.

“You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end, it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future.”

Salah is among three crucial Liverpool players who will soon enter the final six months of their contracts, alongside Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, both of whom are also set to be out of contract this summer.

All three will be free to speak to overseas clubs in January if they do not sign an extension before then.

Concerns about their futures represent one of the few uncertainties looming over Anfield at the moment. This comes in light of Sunday’s victory, which propelled Arne Slot’s team to an eight-point lead atop the Premier League.

Asked if he was disappointed not to have received an offer from Liverpool, Salah added, “Of course, yeah. I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end, it is not in my hands or the fans’ hands. Let’s wait and see.

“I’m not going to retire soon, so I’m just playing, focusing on the season, and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I’m disappointed but we will see.”
