The Premier League season couldn’t have gone much better for Arne Slot and Liverpool, and the biggest question could have been answered.
Mohamed Salah has been associated with leaving Liverpool for the past few seasons, with his contract expiring in the summer of 2025 and with continued interest from Saudi Arabia.
But retired Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero he thinks he knows what’s going to happen and it would be huge news for Liverpool fans.
Sergio Aguero believes he knows the outcome of Mohamed Salah’s contract
Salah, 32, has been in excellent form in the 2024-25 season, having seen the Reds jump to the top of the Premier League with 13 goals in 15 games.
That’s a better goals-per-90-minute ratio than any full season in his career except 2017-18, and he’s just five goals shy of last season’s total. This is a good result, in six Champions League matches he scored two goals and provided four assists.
With speculation about Salah’s future circulating throughout the season, Aguero decided to dispel any doubts by claiming that the Egyptian striker had signed a contract and would remain at Liverpool.
“So I’ve been reading a little bit about it in the last few hours,” Aguero said Stake.com.
– As I understand it, Salah has been renovated [his] contract with Liverpool for the next two seasons. I think this should dispel any doubts about his future.
“He remains a key player and a new contract is the best news Liverpool can receive.”
It will be up to Liverpool fans to decide whether Aguero has the credentials to end their doubts about their club’s fifth-best goalscorer.
Salah, whose Premier League appearance against Manchester City in 2021, is 22nd in the table FourFourTwoa list of the best individual performances of all timesince joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017, he has won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup with Liverpool.
He scored 227 goals in 372 appearances in all competitions for the Reds, including 44 in the Champions League, a record for an English club.
Aguero won five Premier League titles with Man City. In the 2019/20 season, Liverpool won their first league title in the Premier League era, which would otherwise have made it a run of four consecutive championships.
Salah’s contribution to Liverpool’s title-winning side under Jurgen Klopp was undeniable. In the 2019/2020 season, he achieved double figures in goals and assists for the second time in a Liverpool shirt.
Many more have appeared since then, and he’s on the verge of adding another. With nine assists and 13 goals to his name already this season, Salah makes the idea of letting him go on a free transfer seem very hard to swallow.
