The future of Mohamed Salah has been a hot topic lately, with many wondering where the talented footballer will end up next season. Surprisingly, Liverpool has yet to present a formal contract offer to Salah, which has left former player Ally McCoist in disbelief. McCoist believes that Salah was right to speak out about his future, given the uncertainty surrounding his contract.
As of now, Salah's contract with Liverpool is set to expire at the end of the season, leaving his future with the club uncertain. After scoring two goals in their recent 3-2 win against Southampton, Salah took the opportunity to address the contract situation with reporters. "We're almost in December and I haven't received an offer to stay at the club yet, so I'm probably more out than in," he stated. However, he also made it clear that his focus remains on the current season and winning the Premier League and Champions League.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher was less than impressed with Salah's comments, especially given the crucial upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City. "I must say I am very disappointed with Salah," Carragher expressed to Sky Sports. "That interview, Liverpool have got Real Madrid midweek and they've got Manchester City at the weekend. That's the story for Liverpool right now." Carragher believes that Salah's comments were selfish and not in the best interest of the team.
However, McCoist disagrees with Carragher's opinion. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, McCoist stated, "I genuinely don't have a problem with it. I get where Jamie's coming from being a Liverpool man, but the timing of Liverpool's contract offer is not Salah's problem. The bigger issue here is that he hasn't even received a formal offer yet, which I find unbelievable." McCoist believes that Salah was simply being honest and fair in his comments, and that his timing was actually perfect.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot also doesn't believe that Salah's contract talks have affected his performance on the field. Despite the ongoing discussions, Salah has already scored an impressive 12 goals in 18 games this season. "I don't think he is distracted at all," Slot stated. "I haven't seen it after the Manchester United game or his social media posts, and I didn't see anything in training today." Slot believes that the media and fans may make a big deal out of the contract situation, but for the players, their focus remains on the upcoming games against Real Madrid and Manchester City.
