Luis Diaz, a fellow player at Liverpool, has expressed his hope for Mohamed Salah to stay with the club for the long term. He recognizes Salah's incredible contributions to the team and the impact he has had since joining in 2017 from Roma. Under the leadership of Jurgen Klopp, Salah has solidified his status as one of Liverpool's all-time greats.
However, there is some uncertainty surrounding Salah's future as he has only one year left on his contract. After the team's recent 3-0 victory against Manchester United, Salah hinted that this could be his last season with Liverpool. This has caused speculation about his potential move to the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ittihad having previously made a whopping £150 million offer for the 33-year-old.
Despite this, coach Arne Slot downplayed the significance of Salah's statement and expressed his desire for the player to remain with the team. Diaz shares this sentiment, saying in an interview with Telemundo that he hopes to continue playing alongside Salah in the future. He believes that losing such a key player would not only be difficult for the team but also for the players themselves.
Salah's contract with Liverpool currently runs until 2025, and it seems that the player is taking his time to make a decision about his future. Diaz acknowledges that it's not an easy choice and that he and his teammates respect whatever decision Salah makes. They all hope that he ultimately decides to stay with the club.
Former England and Newcastle striker Alan Shearer also weighed in on the situation, expressing his surprise that Liverpool has allowed Salah's contract to run down. He praised Salah's performance in the recent game against Manchester United and noted that it was a clever move on Salah's part to make his statement after such a stellar performance.
Shearer believes that Salah still has much to offer and can play at the top level for another few years. However, he understands that Salah may want a longer contract or a bigger payday, and it's up to the club to make a decision. Shearer also finds it surprising that Liverpool has allowed Salah, as well as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil Van Dijk, to enter the final year of their contracts.
Despite this uncertainty, it's clear that Salah's talent, energy, and ability are still top-notch, and he has the potential to continue making a significant impact on the team. Fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for Salah and Liverpool, but one thing is for sure: the team and its supporters would be devastated to lose such an incredible player.
