Salah says new Liverpool deal is ‘far away’
Al Jazeera
Egypt forward Mohamed Salah says he is a long way from extending his contract at Liverpool, which expires in the summer.
Mohamed Salah said talks over a new Liverpool contract have not moved on significantly after he starred again in a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham to help open up an eight-point English Premier League lead.
The Egyptian scored once and set up two more goals in the match on Sunday, taking his tally of goals in all competitions for the season to 20 plus 17 assists in 24 Premier League and Champions League appearances.
Salah, along with teammates Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning they could discuss a free transfer with non-English clubs from January 1.
Reports in recent weeks have suggested an agreement is getting closer between the 32-year-old and the Reds, but Salah shot down those suggestions.
“We are far away from that,” Salah told Sky Sports. “I don’t want to put something in the media and people start saying stuff, but nothing really has moved on.
