It seemed like an infinite love, a perfect society but the end is approaching, for the moment, without remedy and this has a marked date: June 30, 2023. That will be the day that Mo Salah and Liverpool have to separate their paths if they do not reach an agreement to prevent it.
The Egyptian footballer has grown exponentially since his arrival at Anfield, where, under Jurgen Klopp, he has become one of the best footballers in the world and is the star of a trident of legend along with Mané and Firmino that has already brought the club a European Cup and a Premier League, as well as local Cups and Super Cups.
Now, the atmosphere is rarefied in this union due to the lack of agreement. Salah wants one last big contract at 30 years old and a salary increase according to his level. Liverpool doubts about giving it to him and the rest of the big teams test the situation of the winger. The last to join, as AS learned, was FC Barcelona, although it is not the only one. As Salah confessed in an interview with AS, he would like to prove himself in LaLiga and Real Madrid is not a disposable option.
For El Hadji Diouf, ex-Liverpool, if it is inadvisable. The Senegalese recommended Salah from the media to remain in the discipline of Liverpool and urged the club and the player to reach an understanding.
“It is obvious that Liverpool must accept Salah’s demands. If I were Salah I would stay at Liverpool. He can earn more money, he is the best player in the club with Mané and together they will win many titles. He is 30 years old and I ask him to play four more with the Reds. A transfer to Real Madrid would mean starting over”he stated trying to keep Nagrig’s attacker away from a change
Diouf also highlighted an important point related to his own experience and that is the difference in treatment between European and African players in football on the Old Continent.. “Salah has to realize that he is African and they will never treat him like the Europeans. They will never give him the best contract like the others. The same thing happened to me when I was at Liverpool. They told me not to go to me country to play with my national team,” he said.
In search of a new European conquest and in the hunt for Manchester City in the Premier League, Salah is being key once again at Liverpool with 28 goals and ten assists between both competitions. Until his future is resolved, he remains the leader.
