Mohamed Salah said that his contract situation is entirely in the hands of Liverpool’s management. The forward believes that he has not made any unusual demands to extend his contract that ends in the summer of 2023.
Liverpool are yet to come to an agreement over new terms of Salah’s contract. The Premier League giants will have to pay the most lucrative salary in their history, worth about £200,000 a week, to secure the 29-year-old, who is currently representing Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Salah has publicly stated his wish to stay at the club but during an interview with the latest edition of British GQ insisted that Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, must meet his demands.
“I want to stay, but it’s not in my hands. It’s in their hands. They know what I want. I’m not asking for crazy stuff.”
“The thing is when you ask for something and they show you they can give you something,” he said, they should, “because they appreciate what you did for the club. I’ve been here for my fifth year now. I know the club very well. I love the fans. The fans love me. But with the administration, they have [been] told the situation. It’s in their hands.”
