Mohamed Salah's performance against Lille suggests he may be staying at Liverpool, with a new contract on the horizon. The Egyptian star scored his 50th European goal for the Reds, helping them secure a 2-1 Champions League victory.
Mohamed Salah signaled his intention to stay at Liverpool by hinting at a new contract after leading the Reds to a 2-1 Champions League victory against 10-man Lille on Tuesday. The Egyptian star opened the scoring, reaching his 50th European goal for the Merseyside club. His current contract expires at the end of the season, leaving his future uncertain.
However, when questioned after the match about potentially scoring another 50 goals for Liverpool in Europe, Salah responded to Amazon Prime: 'I'm not sure about that, but I'll give it my best.' This is the strongest indication yet that Salah will remain at Anfield, where he has been a key player since his arrival in the summer of 2017. He played a pivotal role in securing Liverpool's place in the Champions League knockout stage with his crucial goals against Lille. Salah broke the deadlock in the 34th minute, capitalizing on Curtis Jones's brilliant through ball. Liverpool faced a setback when Jonathan David equalized for the visitors, who had been reduced to 10 men just three minutes prior. Harvey Elliott provided the winning goal with a shot from distance that deflected into the net. Despite seeing his team nearly relinquish the lead, Salah was pleased with their performance. 'Something I'm very happy and proud of, especially as we won the game because that's the important thing,' he said of reaching the 50-goal milestone. 'I wasn't focused about it before the game to be fair. 'They had a really good gameplan and have been unbeaten for 21 games so quite a tough team. We give them credit but I'm glad we managed to win the win. 'We recovered the ball from them, Curtis passed the pass very well and I managed to score. They went for the counter attack and managed to score. Little bit disappointed about it because the clean sheet is very important. 'I think the manager will speak about it so we'll see. When you want to win a big tournament you need a big squad. We have good talent, players working very hard, the manager also has a good idea so we just have to give it a try and we'll see.' Liverpool's qualification for the last 16 is confirmed, but they still need a point against PSV Eindhoven in their final match to secure the top spot in their group.
