Mohamed Salah gave a swift response to the latest question on his ongoing contractual uncertainty after scoring in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Leicester City. The 32-year-old notched his 16th goal of the campaign to clinch victory for Arne Slot's side, who moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after Chelsea's defeat earlier in the day.
Salah is one of three Liverpool stars, along with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with contracts expiring at the end of the campaign, who will be free to speak to foreign clubs from January 1. The Egyptian, who sent the Reds fanbase into a frenzy last month when he claimed he had not been contacted over a new deal, refused to divulge the current state of negotiations when asked on Boxing Day.
Instead, he offered season's greetings and looked ahead to the next time he'll have the chance to play in front of supporters at Anfield - a New Year's Day showdown against Manchester United. 'I want to tell [the fans] Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,' Salah told Amazon Prime. 'And I'll see them in the next game here.'.
Mohamed Salah was characteristically cryptic in his response to a question about his contractual situation. The Egyptian scored his 16th Premier League goal of the season to help the Reds past Leicester. Liverpool boss Arne Slot also refused to provide an update on negotiations of three of his side's key men.
