Mohamed Salah has revealed his future plans following Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield, where he scored the opening goal from the penalty spot. With just under a year left on his current contract, speculation has been mounting about the Egyptian star’s future at the club. Salah’s performance has solidified his status as one of Liverpool’s all-time greats, but the big question remained: would he stay or leave?
After the match, Salah addressed the rumors, saying: “Liverpool is home. My focus has always been on helping the team win trophies, and that hasn’t changed. I’m happy here, and we’ll see what the future holds.”
This statement was seen as a major hint that Salah could extend his stay at Anfield. His contract is set to expire in June, but Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Salah is motivated to chase more records and continue his legacy with the Reds.
Carragher, speaking after the game, said: “Salah has an eye on surpassing players like Thierry Henry and Frank Lampard in the Premier League goal charts. Stats like that are why I think he’ll sign a new deal with Liverpool.”
Salah’s goal against Chelsea took his Premier League tally to 162, putting him ninth on the all-time list. He is just two goals away from overtaking Jermain Defoe and 13 behind Henry, further fueling speculation that the Egyptian forward is keen to break more records in the Premier League.
Salah concluded his post-match comments with confidence: “I love this club, and I’m focused on doing even more with Liverpool. The rest, we’ll discuss in time.”
With Liverpool currently sitting atop the Premier League, Salah’s comments bring relief to fans who hope to see him continue his incredible career at Anfield.
