'I'm more out than in' - Mohamed Salah makes huge admission about Liverpool future as 'disappointed' Reds talisman claims he is yet to receive offer of new contract

Salah is into the final year of his existing Liverpool contract and no decision has yet been taken on whether he will extend his stay with the club or look for a new challenge. The Egypt international has played a starring role for the Reds since arriving in 2017 and is currently fifth on Liverpool’s all-time record scoring list in all competitions. At he age of 32, he's shown few signs of slowing down, meaning fans will be desperate for him to stay at Anfield.

Salah has 12 goals and 10 assists in 18 games in all competitions this season and was the hero again last time out as the Premier League leaders came from behind to beat Southampton to extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points. Trying to replace Salah will be an extremely difficult task for the Reds, but they are at risk of losing him at the end of the season on a free transfer and will know that he can sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club from January 1 as things stand.

He told reporters: "We are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club. I’m probably more out than in. You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future. I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or the fans’ hands. Let’s wait and see.”

Salah also expressed his disappointment at the situation, adding: "Of course, [I'm disappointed] yeah. I’m not going to retire soon so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I’m disappointed but we will see.

“I’m very professional. Everybody can see my work ethic. I’m just trying to enjoy my football and I will play at the top level as long as possible. I’m just doing my best because this is who I am and I try to give it all for myself and for the club. We will see what happens next.”

Liverpool fans will be hoping a resolution can be found quickly to secure Salah's future and ensure he continues his phenomenal career on Merseyside. The forward's comments come ahead of a huge week for the club, as Liverpool host Real Madrid next in the Champions League and then take on defending Premier League champions Manchester City at Anfield.
