Liverpool star's starting role up for debate after Feyenoord boss' comments
Salah's future at Liverpool has been the subject of much speculation in recent months
Mohamed Salah has sent a clear message to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp with his recent comments about his future at the club. The Egyptian winger has been linked with a move away from Anfield in recent months, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid among the clubs said to be interested in signing him.
However, Salah has now insisted that he is happy at Liverpool and wants to stay at the club. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "I'm very happy here. I love the club, I love the fans and I love the city." Salah's comments come after Feyenoord boss Arne Slot claimed that the winger had told him he was unhappy at Liverpool.
Slot said: "I spoke to Salah a few weeks ago and he told me he wasn't happy at Liverpool. He said he wanted to leave the club." However, Salah has now denied Slot's claims, saying: "I don't know where he gets that from. I'm very happy here." Salah's comments will come as a relief to Liverpool fans, who have been worried about the future of their star player.
The Egyptian has been in excellent form for Liverpool this season, scoring 16 goals in 24 appearances. He is a key part of Klopp's team and will be essential to their hopes of success this season.
Salah's starting role up for debate
Salah's comments come amid speculation about his starting role at Liverpool. The Egyptian has been left out of the starting lineup for some of Liverpool's biggest games this season, including the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
Some pundits have suggested that Salah is no longer a guaranteed starter for Liverpool. However, Klopp has insisted that the Egyptian remains a key part of his team.
Speaking to reporters, Klopp said: "Salah is a world-class player. He is one of the best players in the world. I have no doubt about his quality."
It remains to be seen whether Salah will start for Liverpool in their biggest games this season. However, his recent comments suggest that he is happy to stay at the club and fight for his place in the team.
Just one question remains
Salah's comments leave just one question: will he sign a new contract with Liverpool? The Egyptian's current deal expires in 2023, and there has been no news of a new contract being agreed.
Liverpool are keen to keep Salah at the club, but they will need to offer him a significant pay rise to do so. It remains to be seen whether Salah is willing to sign a new contract, but his recent comments suggest that he is happy at Liverpool and wants to stay at the club.
