I’ve a year left on my contract, let’s enjoy it – Salah

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah says he is only focused on enjoying the last year of his contract before making a decision on his future.

Salah, 32, is yet to sign a new deal at the Reds, with his contract set to expire this summer.

Liverpool rejected a £150m offer from Al-Ittihad for Salah last September.

“Before the season, I was just like ‘I’ve got one year left, let’s just enjoy it and don’t think about the contract’,” Salah told Sky Sports.

“I don’t want to think about next year or the future, I just want to enjoy the last year [of my contract] and let’s see.

“The most important thing is to take one day at a time and just be grateful to be here.”

The Egypt captain joined the Reds for £34m from Roma in 2017 and has gone on to score 213 goals in 351 appearances, ranking fifth in Liverpool’s all-time record goalscorers.

In July 2022, Salah signed a new three-year deal, making him reportedly the highest-paid player in the club’s history, on more than £350,000 a week.

He has adapted quickly to life under new Liverpool boss Arne Slot, scoring in the Dutchman’s first two Premier League games in charge after only playing under former boss Jurgen Klopp during his career at Anfield.

Salah won every major trophy under Klopp other than the Europa League.
