Liverpool manager Arne Slot has urged his players to match the high standards set by Mohamed Salah, whose individual form this season has been exceptional.
Salah has scored 30 goals and provided 21 assists across all competitions, making him a key figure in Liverpool’s successful campaign.
His performance in helping Liverpool extend their lead over Arsenal to 11 points in the Premier League has solidified his status as a club legend.
However, there is concern over Salah’s future as his current contract is set to expire in the summer. Despite his stellar form, negotiations for a new deal are ongoing, and Liverpool is eager to secure his commitment.
Slot acknowledged the challenge of renewing Salah’s contract, suggesting that while his great performances could increase his value, they may also complicate discussions.
Slot emphasized that Liverpool needs players who perform at Salah’s level, as the club aims to remain among the best in the world.
He expressed hope that Salah will see the value in staying at Liverpool, as the team needs top-tier talent to maintain success.
In addition to Salah, Liverpool is also working on securing new contracts for key players like Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
However, Alexander-Arnold is reportedly a target for Real Madrid, which could lead him to seek a new challenge away from Liverpool.
