According to former Liverpool forward Michael Owen, Mohamed Salah is keen to stay at Liverpool past the current campaign, but it depends on the team changing its contract policy for players over 30.
Salah has not yet agreed to a new contract with the club, and his current one is scheduled to expire on June 30. Although Liverpool’s customary approach for players over 30 is to offer them contracts that last longer than the two-year agreements that are typically offered to players of his age, Owen thinks the Egyptian superstar is dedicated to staying at Anfield.
In a talkSPORT interview, Owen expressed his opinions, saying, “Mo Salah wants to stay.” I’m fairly certain that he wants to stay. Although it may be Liverpool’s policy to only grant players his age two-year contracts, he is not your typical player.
Owen, a legend of Liverpool, continued by saying that the team ought to think about breaking their normal regulations in order to grant Salah the contract term he wants, considering his extraordinary level of dedication, professionalism, and fitness. “He is incredibly professional, committed, and in good shape. Owen argued that the club should provide Salah a better contract in appreciation of his outstanding achievements over the years, saying, “I’d bend the rules and give him the contract length he wants.”
Along with highlighting Salah’s value to the team, Owen also pointed out that finding a player who could have the same impact and replacing him would be expensive. Owen underlined that instead of spending a lot of money on a new, high-profile player to replace the prolific attacker, Liverpool would be better off securing Salah’s future with a new contract.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has played a crucial role in the team’s success, amassing an incredible 243 goals while at Anfield. He is a vital member of Liverpool’s attacking lineup due to his on-field efforts and professionalism, and the team would probably have a hard time finding a player who could equal his reliable goal-scoring performances.
Salah’s future is still up in the air, though, as the player’s contract is still being negotiated. Liverpool supporters are also anticipating the future of right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has apparently come close to agreeing to a move to Real Madrid, in addition to his contract negotiations. Salah’s dedication to Liverpool will probably continue to be a major topic of discussion for supporters and experts alike as the team negotiates the summer transfer window and attempts to settle the contract issues of its best players.
