Mohamed Salah has made an impressive start to the season despite his future at Liverpool remaining uncertain due to interest from Saudi Arabia.
The striker scored twice as the Reds beat Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday. With this goal, he became the first Premier League player to score 30 goals in 2023. The Egyptian has now overtaken Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish on the goalscoring charts at Anfield. But his future at Liverpool was thrown into serious doubt when Saudi Arabian Professional League club Al Ittihad swooped in to sign him this summer.
Premier League stars are ‘dangerously close’ to bans following criticism of Virgil van DijkThe Saudi side eventually saw Liverpool reject their record bid for the striker. And now Alisson has called on Salah to stay as long as possible after another match win.“This guy is really amazing. We are very excited to have him on our team. I hope that when he pulls on the red shirt he can break all the records that are in front of him!” Alisson told the Liverpool club website. “The three points we get are very important for us.
Today was even more special for us because it was a derby. We know this is important to our supporters, to the city, to everyone and to us.”We’ll keep fighting and see what we can achieve.” It’s always hard to come back from the national team and play at 12:30 at night. We traveled a lot, went to South America and played some tough games, but I’m glad we got three points. “It was really big today.”When the transfer window reopens in January, Salah’s future could once again become uncertain.
But last summer manager Jurgen Klopp said he was confident Salah would stay at United for some time. “He played his best game. Mo had to work hard and he did. “I never doubted and I still don’t doubt his future and his commitment to this club,” Klopp said in September.”Believe me, you can’t imagine how much chaos the whole world is and how calmly we manage.
He is our player and he wants to play here. This is. I haven’t seen a single distraction all week other than answering questions about it.
