Mohamed Salah has suggested that he is inclined to extend his contract with Liverpool following his instrumental role in guiding the team to victory against a 10-man Lille side. The forward scored the opening goal against the French opponents, marking his 50th European goal for Liverpool. While his current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, the club has not yet provided any indications regarding his future.
During an interview on Tuesday, when asked if he aims to score another 50 goals in Europe for Liverpool, Salah responded on Amazon Prime, stating, “I’m not certain about that, but I will give it my best shot.”
This statement strongly implies that Salah is likely to continue his tenure at Anfield, having joined the team in 2017. He further contributed with a crucial goal to secure Liverpool’s place in the Champions League round of 16 this season.
Scoring the opening goal 34 minutes into the match, Salah capitalized on Curtis Jones’ precise through ball. Despite a moment of concern when Jonathan David equalized for Lille, who were down to 10 men, Liverpool regained control with Harvey Elliott’s deflected long-range shot securing the win. Salah expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, emphasizing the importance of the victory.
While Liverpool has secured a spot in the round of 16, they still need to secure a point against PSV Eindhoven in their upcoming match to secure a top spot finish in the league phase.
