Salah admits he is ‘far away from any progress’ on new Liverpool contract | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah has said he remains ‘far away from any progress’ on a new contract at Liverpool.

Salah’s current deal expires at the end of the season and discussions between the Egyptian and Liverpool have failed to find a resolution. The Reds have submitted a proposal to the 32-year-old, though there has been no indication an agreement is close.

Salah is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign sides, but has told Sky Sports that his focus is on Premier League success in what will be his ‘final season’ with Liverpool as things stand.

“The first thing that was on the list was to win the Premier League with Liverpool,” Salah said of the personal targets he wrote down last summer.

“In my interviews over the last seven or eight years, I always say [I want to win the] Champions League. But this is the first time I’m saying I really want to win the Premier League with Liverpool.

“It’s probably because we didn’t celebrate the one we won in the way we wanted and also, coming back here too, it’s my last year in the club so you want to do something special for the city.

“That was the thing in my head.

“We waited for that title for 30 years or so. So, to win it and it was the pandemic at that time, we didn’t really have time to celebrate it in the right way. It’s not a nice thing to do, so hopefully we can do it this year.”

Salah has been the standout player in the Premier League this season, scoring 17 times and providing 13 assists. He leads the league on both metrics but, despite his displays, has conceded that he could be set for a new challenge at the end of the campaign. Asked if this could be his last year with Liverpool, Salah revealed there has still been no progress on a new deal.

“So far, yes. It’s the last six months.

“There is no progress there. We are far away from any progress. So, we just need to wait and see.”
