Mohamed Salah admits Liverpool are ‘far away from any progress’ on new contract

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah admits the club are still “far away from any progress” on a new contract with his current deal due to expire in the summer. However, he refuses to be “concerned or stressed” by the situation and is determined to enjoy what could be his final six months at Anfield by winning the Premier League for a second time.
The Egypt international’s contract has been a long-running saga, with team-mates Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold in a similar situation, but despite numerous public utterances about a lack of movement a solution appears to be no closer. Salah, whose agent Ramy Abbas is understood to be attending Sunday’s match against Manchester United, is now eligible to discuss a pre-contract deal with European clubs but said he would not allow the off-field uncertainty to derail what he hopes will be a memorable season.
In an interview with Sky Sports he was asked whether he believed his time at Liverpool was coming to an end he said: “So far, yeah. It’s the last six months. “We are far away from any progress so we just need to wait and see. “The thing in my head is ‘OK, if it’s my last six months, or last year, what do you want to see in the future? Do you want to look back and say I was concerned about the contract or I was stressed or do you just want to say ‘OK, I had an unbelievable season’.
