Mohamed Salah wants Liverpool stay but ‘doesn’t know’ about future amid links to Barcelona and Real Madrid

Mohamed Salah has insisted his future is ‘in Liverpool’s hands’ as speculation mounts he could seek a move away from Anfield.

Last month, the Egypt international voiced his disappointment at not being named captain for their Champions League group match against Midtjylland in a rare interview and encouraged speculation by talking about the ‘great’ clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Salah has been worth every penny of the £36.9million Liverpool paid for him – but he could be on his way out soon

Salah, whose current contract runs until the summer of 2023, has been linked with a switch both of the LaLiga giants, whilst speculation has also mounted that Liverpool could make a mega-money move to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.

And the Liverpool ace has done little to settle speculation on his future at Anfield by admitting he ‘does not know’ what will happen.

Asked about his future by Norwegian channel TV2, Salah said: “I do not know. If you ask, I say I want to stay here as long as I can, but, as I have said before, it is in the hands of the club.

“I will always give 100 per cent to the last minute I am in this club and I want to win as many trophies as I can.

“And I want to give 100 per cent to the people, who show me love all the time.”

After a run of four goals in four league matches Salah’s blank in Sunday’s goalless draw with Manchester United made it four games without a goal for the forward.

Liverpool had 66 per cent possession and 17 shots against the Premier League leaders but managed just three on target in a draw which saw them drop to fourth.

The defending champions are on a three-match goal-scoring drought in the league, their worst since March 2005.

Thiago, making his first Anfield appearance four months after arriving from Bayern Munich due to injury and illness, said it had an effect against United.

“When we didn’t realise (the chances) and didn’t make the goals, we’re just getting our self-confidence a bit down and that’s why the game changed,” he told liverpoolfc.com.

“At the end, it’s football and in some minutes of the game you are in high emotions and sometimes you are low – it’s part of the game.

“Without winning, we are never satisfied. We have to do much better to be on top of the league.”
