EPL: ‘This Is My Last Year’ – Salah Hints At Liverpool Exit

Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah said, “I was thinking it could be my last time here. No one at the club has talked to me about a contract yet, so I’m just playing out my final season and we’ll see what happens.”
When asked about Salah’s remarks, Liverpool manager Arne Slot responded, “There are a lot of ‘ifs’ in that. Right now, he’s still with us, and I’m thrilled with his performance today. I won’t discuss player contracts, but I could talk all day about how well Mo played.”
Salah signed a three-year contract extension in July 2022, reportedly becoming the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s history, earning over £350,000 a week. Liverpool previously rejected a £150 million offer from Al-Ittihad for Salah last September.

Salah, who has now scored in each of Liverpool’s opening three games this season, enjoyed a record-breaking afternoon at Old Trafford:
-
Salah has either scored (11) or assisted (6) 17 of Liverpool’s last 23 Premier League goals against Manchester United. The Egyptian has more goal involvements versus the Red Devils than any other player in the competition.
-
He has scored 10 goals in nine appearances at Old Trafford for Liverpool in all competitions. He is only the second player to score 10+ goals at a single away ground for Premier League clubs since 1992-93, after Alan Shearer (10 at Elland Road).
-
Salah is the first player to score in five straight away appearances against Manchester United in the Premier League.
Victory against old rivals Manchester United leaves Liverpool second in the table, only behind leaders Manchester City on goals scored.
“A great result,” said Salah. “Everyone knows the derby is important for the fans and the city. We need to carry on and if you want to fight for the league you have to win each game.
“I managed to be involved in three so I am happy about that. The manager likes us to press high and there was a couple of mistakes and we managed to use them – it was part of the plan.
“With Jurgen we were always like this to get the ball as high as possible. Quite similar from seven years ago, the manager has his own system and we try to adapt that.”
