Former Liverpool ahead Michael Owen has claimed he ‘can be shocked’ if Mo Salah was to depart the Reds when his contract expires subsequent summer season.
The Egyptian King has grow to be one of many world’s finest gamers at Anfield since arriving from AS Roma in 2017 and is the Premier League’s prime scorer this time period with 19 objectives.
“I’d be shocked, I have to admit, if Mohamed Salah left. Why wouldn’t he keep? He’ll be getting an amazing supply,” Owen instructed the Liverpool Echo (by way of Football365).
“Sure, it’s the primary contract of his life actually. That is when he has been completely on the peak of his powers and it’s his final massive contract in all probability. You possibly can perceive that all the things must be proper on either side.
“However once I was in that state of affairs, we have been coming third, fourth, fifth, sixth or no matter within the league. There have been different groups who might give you one thing, like a Actual Madrid or a Barcelona, as a result of we weren’t profitable the league yearly.
“However the place would you go now? There may be no person larger than Man Metropolis or Liverpool in the intervening time.
“He’s actually not going to go to anybody within the UK. Barcelona and Actual Madrid aren’t at the moment the pressure of outdated. Paris Saint-Germain I can’t think about, why would you need to go to the French league if you’re taking part in within the Premier League? The identical goes for Germany. There may be nowhere else.
“Each participant is queuing as much as come to Liverpool and Man Metropolis on the minute. For those who’re there, I don’t know why you’d give it up.
“I actually can’t see any motive why he received’t keep and I’d be shocked if there wasn’t an announcement quickly.”
It’s exhausting to disagree with Owen’s feedback.
However the Egyptian continues to be but to signal a brand new deal on the membership and it’s unclear why negotiations have been ongoing for a while with none actual progress being made.
As a membership, it needs to be their most important precedence to make sure the 29-year-old extends his keep on Merseyside.
Liverpool do not need the monetary backing that will see them supply gamers mega wages that we see Manchester Metropolis, Manchester United or Chelsea stars earn, however ought to we make our most important man an exception?
If our No. 11 was to depart the membership, it might take nicely over £100m participant to usher in a participant that may assure an identical quantity of objectives that Mo brings to the facet while you’d additionally anticipate any new signing to demand big wages additionally.
Let’s hope Mo does agree to increase his keep on the membership, however for now, he can proceed firing the objectives in as we have a look at add extra silverware to our assortment this season.
