Mohamed Salah will stay in Liverpool. I'm getting closer to renewing my contract.
Paul Joyce, a reporter from The Times and familiar with Liverpool news, reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'The signing of a new contract between Mohamed Salah and Liverpool is imminent'
Joyce is also expected to sign a deal with Salah after a breakthrough in negotiations with Pandeyk. Both players are out of contract after the end of the season, but a new two-year contract is expected. Trent Alexander-Arnold is out of contract, but Real Madrid want it. There was also news that there would be a pay cut due to Salah's age, but the negotiations did not include a pay cut.'
The BBC also reported 'Liverpool is close to signing Salah's contract. 'Negotiations are ongoing, and we have not yet reached a final agreement, but we are making positive progress and hope that a contract will be signed soon.'"

Salah is Liverpool's ace in name and reality. He joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017 and achieved a leap forward in his career. Salah was not initially expected, but he has grown into one of the best wingers in the English Premier League (EPL), exploding 10 goals in the European Champions League with 32 goals and 11 assists in the 2017-2018 season, his first season. Only the EPL Golden Boot (scoring king) won three times (2017-2018, 2018-2019 and 2021-2022) and was selected as the EPL Player of the Year in the 2017-2018 season.
This season, even though he was born in 1992, he is still playing as the best player in Europe beyond the EPL. He has recorded a whopping 32 goals and 22 assists, showing the highest scoring pace and most offensive point pace since entering the EPL. In the league, he also scored 27 goals and 17 assists, surpassing his debut season record of 32 goals and 10 assists and 42 offensive points. Liverpool's total score also increased to 243 goals in 391 games.
Despite his outstanding performance, Salah has been talking about the possibility of leaving the team all season. Negotiations on renewing the contract with Liverpool were a problem. Salah is already free to negotiate with other clubs as his contract expires in the summer of 2025. However, Liverpool has yet to announce a specific agreement in the renewal of Salah's contract, so fans are anxious.

Salado has expressed regret through several interviews. Salah said in an interview this season that `I know I've been on this team for a long time, and I haven't had a team like this. However, there was still no extension proposal. It's not in my hands. I love my fans, they love me, but it's not up to me, or them, to renew the contract. Are you disappointed? I'm disappointed. I have never received any offers from Liverpool before now," he said, referring specifically to the renewal of his contract.
The possibility of a transfer was also mentioned. Some British media said that if the renewal negotiations with Liverpool break down, Salah will consider the offer of a European big club.
However, due to the progress of this renewal, Salah and Liverpool are expected to continue their companionship. Liverpool even gave up its existing renewal policy in the renewal negotiations with Salah. England's team talk was 'Liverpool had ruled out a contract extension for a star player over the age of 30. However, he explained that it was appropriate to make exceptions for Salah and Pandique.

Likewise, it contrasts with Tottenham's attitude toward Son Heung-min, a top EPL winger born in 1992. Son Heung-min is having a difficult time at Tottenham this season, receiving a little disappointing performance and excessive criticism. Responsibilities such as his role as captain and his performance as an ace have increased, but all arrows of criticism are directed at Son Heung-min as the team is sluggish.
Tottenham chose to wait and see rather than renew the contract with Son Heung-min at this time. Initially, it was expected to renew the contract with Son Heung-min, whose contract expires in the summer of 2025, but it only triggered an option to extend his one-year contract due to concerns about Son Heung-min's poor performance. Recently, there is even a news that he is considering breaking up with Son Heung-min through recruiting a replacement.
