Arne Slot has played down rumors of Mohamed Salah moving to Liverpool after the striker admitted this could be his last season at Anfield.
Salah, who joined Anfield in 2017, scored Liverpool’s third goal against Manchester United on Sunday to secure a 3-0 win at Old Trafford. He had an impressive career on Merseyside, winning honors in the Premier League and Champions League while being regarded as one of the Reds’ most talented players.
As things stand, his contract expires in June and the winger revealed after Sunday’s win that the club had not considered extending his stay.
In response, Slot insisted there is a long way to go before fans start worrying about Salah’s future. “It’s a lot of ‘ifs’,” he told reporters. “Now he is one of us and I am happy that he is one of us. He plays well. » I’m not talking about player contracts but I could talk for hours about how Mo plays.
“Everything that you want to see as a manager you saw in this game. There were difficult moments for us, United started really well but then we were disallowed a goal and there was no negative reaction.
“We kept on playing, scoring three, we could have scored more, two important saves from Alisson and the work rate was incredibly well without the ball and that makes it a very positive day.”
Liverpool go into the international break unbeaten after wins against Ipswich Town, Brentford and United. Their next game will be on September 14 against Nottingham Forest.
