It is probably not too much of a stretch to say that Mohamed Salah is one of the best players in the world right now.

He has also been Liverpool’s best player during the Jurgen Klopp era, netting a staggering 153 goals and providing 57 assists for the Reds.

Only Michael Owen (158), Robbie Fowler (183) and Steven Gerrard (186), have scored more goals for Liverpool in the Premier League era.

However, Salah’s future at Anfield remains up in their air. The Guardian report that the Egyptian’s preference is to stay at Liverpool, but he and his agent - Ramy Abbas Issa - have dismissed the club’s most recent contract offer and no talks have been held since December.

And with Salah out of contract in 2023, Liverpool could be forced to cash in on him this summer, or risk losing him for free at the end of next season.
