Helping Liverpool defeat MU, Mohamed Salah suddenly announced his farewell

"This could be my last season with Liverpool. It's almost certain," Mohamed Salah said in an interview with Sky Sports (UK).

Salah suddenly publicly talks about the possibility of leaving Liverpool

"So far, no one at the club has spoken to me about the contract. So I just thought, okay, I'm going to play my last season here, my last game is here with Liverpool. It's not my decision, but no one has spoken to me about this from the club. Let's wait and see," he explained.

According to Marca (Spain): "Salah may want to put pressure on Liverpool's leadership". At the age of 32, the Egyptian star striker continues to be a "goal machine" and creator for the Anfield team. He has scored 10 goals at Old Trafford every time Liverpool comes here to play against rivals MU.

To put things into perspective, Salah's goal tally at Old Trafford is equal to the number of goals scored by striker Anthony Martial here in all nine seasons with the "Red Devils" of Manchester, and only 7 goals less than Cristiano Ronaldo since January 2021.

Salah started the 2024-2025 season with 3 goals and 3 assists in 3 matches, helping Liverpool under new coach Arne Slot win all 3 matches without conceding a goal. They are only behind Man City due to fewer goals scored: 7 compared to 9, while having the same 9 points and the same goal difference of +7.

Liverpool fans will be angry if Salah leaves at the end of the season

Salah's contract with Liverpool has only 1 season left (expiring in June 2025). Liverpool fans have been urging the club's board to extend the star's contract for a long time, but so far everything has been silent. Meanwhile, many clubs in Saudi Arabia are also promoting plans to recruit this 32-year-old striker from the beginning of 2025 when he has full negotiating rights.

"It is very possible that Salah's public statement was to put Liverpool's leadership in a difficult position. They know that losing Salah would be an unpopular move. Salah has put the ball in the Liverpool leadership's court. He did this right after scoring for his team in the victory over rivals MU at Old Trafford, which is completely reasonable," Marca emphasized.

In the win over MU, Salah scored the final goal in the 56th minute after creating two previous chances for Luis Diaz to score in the 35th and 42nd minutes.
