“Mo Salah Drops Bold Contract Revelation That Will Have Richard Hughes on High Alert”
Mo Salah was on the brink of scoring a hat-trick against Manchester City as Liverpool delivered another poised performance against Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Egyptian winger did net his usual goal at Anfield against the reigning Premier League champions, thanks to a penalty won by Luis Diaz in the second half.
Despite the absence of goals, it was yet another performance that sent a clear message to Liverpool’s hierarchy: Why hasn’t the No. 11 been offered a new contract yet?
“Mo Salah Confesses Liverpool Contract Talks Are On His Mind”
There’s a clear reason behind the apparent lack of progress on this issue: Liverpool wants to ensure they’re aligned with the player and his team before moving forward.
The contract terms, including salary and duration, will undoubtedly be key points of negotiation.
However, it seems increasingly in the club’s best interest to resolve the matter quickly, considering the potential mental strain it could have on their top scorer.
“Honestly, it’s on my mind. Until now, this was the last City game I will play for Liverpool, so I was just going to enjoy it,” the 32-year-old told reporters (via BBC Sport).
“The atmosphere was amazing, so I’ll enjoy every moment here. Hopefully, we’ll win the league, and then we’ll see what happens.”
"I don't take it for granted. I enjoy every minute here, it feels like home."

“Liverpool Must Resolve Contract Saga Before the New Year”
There’s a clear reason why allowing talks to drag on past December 31 would be a huge gamble.
Starting January 1—just 31 days away as of Sunday—Virgil van Dijk, Mo Salah, and Trent Alexander-Arnold can begin negotiating pre-contract agreements with foreign clubs.
This looming reality will likely become a major distraction, especially when Liverpool are in contention for trophies across multiple competitions.
Even if the team can mentally handle the pressure, it’s bound to eventually affect our right-winger’s performance.
