Mohamed Salah’s cryptic social media post has sparked speculation about his future at Liverpool. The Egyptian forward, who scored the winning goal in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday, hinted that he may be considering leaving the club.
Salah’s contract expires at the end of the season, and he has yet to agree to a new deal. He will be able to negotiate with non-English clubs in January, and his latest social media post has fueled rumors that he could be ready to move on.
“Top of the table is where this club belongs. Nothing less. All teams win matches but there’s only 1 champion in the end. That’s what we want,” Salah wrote on Twitter. “Thank you for your support last night. No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like.”
Salah’s comments come after he revealed that he had not yet been contacted by Liverpool about a new contract. “To be fair I was coming to the game, it could be the last time (playing at Old Trafford),” he told Sky Sports in September.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot is not concerned about Salah’s future, or fans’ concerns about defenders Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are also out of contract at the end of this term.
“The contract situation becomes a problem if players don’t perform as well as they are now,” he said. “At the moment all three are in good places performing really well. There are ongoing discussions with the people Virgil says he has to talk to, and that’s not me as you know.”
Salah is one of the most important players in the Liverpool squad, and his departure would be a major blow to the club. He has scored 174 goals in 284 appearances for the Reds, and has helped them win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.
If Salah does leave Liverpool, it will be interesting to see where he goes. He has been linked with a move to Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain. However, he has also said that he is happy at Liverpool and wants to stay at the club.
