If Salah stops to speak to the media, it is usually for a good reason.<\/p>\n
After a 3-2 win at Southampton in November 2024, Salah dropped the bombshell that he was “probably more out than in”<\/a> with regards to his Anfield future.<\/p>\n The Egypt international had moved into the final year of his Liverpool contract and at that stage, looked unlikely to sign a new deal despite a desire to stay put. <\/p>\n There had also been speculation about a potential move to the Saudi Pro League and Salah felt the need to set the record straight.<\/p>\n Salah’s comments ramped up the pressure on the Liverpool hierarchy as his goals propelled the club towards the Premier League title. <\/p>\n According to Opta, Salah’s goals and assists had been worth 17 points to Liverpool at that point – the most of any player in the division. <\/p>\n What happened next: <\/b>It took another five months, but Salah did eventually sign a new two-year deal<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n He has not been able to live up to his previous hot form, with five goals and three assists across 18 appearances this season. <\/p>\n The fans were clearly going to be on his side last term, that unequivocal support might not be there this time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
