Muhammad is wrong is on the verge of rewriting books of records, but with a potentially nine games remaining in his Liverpool Career, successes within the 32 -year -old Grack are covered by the sag of his Anfield Contract.
One more destination will move Egypt international in front of the former Manchester City forward Sergio Agüero as a non -English player with the highest score Premier League History – Duo is tied to 184 goals – and Salah could claim a record on Wednesday at Merseyside Derby against Everton in anfield. With the nine league games that are still playing when Liverpool is trying to secure its first Premier League title since 2019–2020, Salah could erase another city forward from eclipse books Erling HaalandA record of 36 goals in the Premier League season, set in 2022-23.
Haaland’s record that passed the previous milestone of 34 goals set by both Andy Cole (Newcastle United1993-94) and Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers1994-95), it seemed to be safe years. However, Salah has 27 goals for the Arne Slot this season, so it would be stupid to refuse his chances of equalizing or overcoming Haaland’s sum.
But because Salah’s future Liverpool still has to be resolved, the primary focus on the former Chelsea and Like the Roma Forward is focused on what will happen next and where he will play his football next season. It was the thread that took place throughout the season because Salah and teammates Virgil van dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold Enabled to enter into the last 12 months of its Liverpool contracts without negotiating new agreements.
Every contract is different. Alexander-Arnold, at the age of 26, is in the peak years of his career and can demand a lucrative long-term contract with anyone who is willing to meet his requirements. Resources on Real Madrid They said Espn they were Optimistic signature of the defender This summer as a free agent, when Liverpool seemed to lose his home player.
Van Dijk, Captain Liverpool and defensive Colossus, had an excellent season. But with Netherlands International turning in July 34 In July, the club has a balancing act to perform the center back a contract that rewards it for its position probably the best defender in the world, and at the same time ensures that the length of the agreement reflects its age and the ability to be at the end of its world class.
As far as Salah is concerned, Liverpool’s dilemma is similar to the one with Van Dijk. But the attacker is a year younger than Van Dijk and is a talisman of the team’s fight. His 27 goals this season has been referring to his best return in the Premier League since he scored 32 in his debut campaign in 2017-18.
Sources said ESPN that the biggest problem to overcome in negotiations with Salah and Van Dijk is the length of the contract, and Liverpool is enthusiastic that they are cautious with players approaching their mid -thirties, although both produce part of their best football for the club this season. But every time Salah scores the goal, Liverpool’s failure has already secured a new contract even more ruthlessly.
If Salah ends this campaign by claiming Haaland’s record, it would further strengthen its negotiating position. Could Liverpool really allow such a fertile and consistent shooter to leave the club because they cannot agree with an agreement that suits both parties?
Salah inevitably occurs with steam. Time will catch up with everyone, but Salah still scored at the same pace as he arrived at Liverpool as a 25 -year -old man.
Haaland was 22 when he set a record of 36 goals two years ago. Cole was also 22 when he scored his 34 goals, while Shearer was 24 when it was a year later when the Premier League still had 22 teams, each of which plays 42 games a year. The fact that Salah is still on setting a record this season at the age of 32 is remarkable, but also evidence of his abilities and professionalism.
When Liverpool refused to offer £ 150 million per salah of Al ittihad In August 2023 they did so because they believed that two more seasons in the Liverpool shirt cost more than the money they offer Saudi for the league team. It was a cunning calculation and Liverpool was rewarded for it, but maybe they have already missed another big Salah decision.
If at the end of this season he leaves as a free agent with the Premier League winners and Haaaland’s record in his bag, this could prove to be one of the biggest mistakes Liverpool ever made.
