‘IT’S MO STAYAH!’ is an absolutely horrific attempt at a headline. It’s not a pun or any other kind of wordplay. Just absolute nonsense. 
 

Did they have a headline after Istanbul in 2005 of ‘IT’S STEVEN GERWINNER!’?

This country is finished.

If the rumours are true then brilliant. I don't trust the likes of Barca not to have been on contact with his agent and their ability not to sign players but still sign them on huge wages. A longer contract for a smaller wage works well.

Egypt minister reveals huge Salah news after telling him to leave Liverpool (football365.com)

 

Egypt’s sports minister Ashraf Sobhi has revealed that Mo Salah wants to renew his contract at Liverpool despite advising him to leave.

 

Salah’s contract runs out at Anfield in the summer of 2023 and speculation has been rife over whether or not he will renew his deal.

There have been rumours for much of the season with Barcelona reportedly keen on taking him to the Camp Nou.

 

But Salah has maintained his brilliant form for Liverpool this campaign, notching 28 goals and ten assists in all competitions.

And now Sobhi has insisted that, despite his best efforts to get Salah to move elsewhere, the Egpyt international intends to renew at Liverpool.

“I met with Mohamed Salah at the airport after the end of the Senegal match and the failure to reach the World Cup finals and said to him to forget what happened and focus on what’s next,” Sobhi told Egyptian radio (via the Metro).

“I have advised him to continue his journey at a club other than Liverpool, but his direction now is to renew his contract with Liverpool.

“There are campaigns against Salah directed by some to bring him down, but I asked him not to pay attention to them.”

Speaking yesterday, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp acknowledged that all parties were trying to get a deal sorted. He said: “The decisive parties are talking to each other and that’s all I need.

On Salah’s form, Klopp added: “For me, the performance level is important, how he brings players together.

“It’s a tough period for Mo and Sadio [Mane], coming back from international duty and being available again. We see him every day – there is nothing to worry about.”

That fella can fuck right off. Some of these Egyptian officials seem hell bent on having Mo at Real or Barcelona just so they can say he's the first Egyptian at one of those clubs.

 

They dont give a fuck either club might chew him up and spit him out in bits at their leisure.

Yep. It's good to see a "he's staying" story coming from some cunt who wants him to leave.

Interesting read.

 

Even a year ago the prospect of Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool this summer or, indeed, running down his contract and departing for free in 2023, would have caused overwhelming consternation. Well, not now. 

 

It is a curiosity that Salah is arguably the best attacking player in the world at present and yet the club that employs him is calmer than ever about the prospect of losing him. 

 

Liverpool are simply not scared of a future without Salah, which is a huge testament to how they have organised themselves, the direction of travel under their manager Jürgen Klopp and an understanding that – at heart – owners Fenway Sports Group have built their success on being ruthlessly clear in how they operate. 

 

Naturally it also helps that Liverpool are firing on all fronts as they go into a fortnight which features a Champions League quarter-final, a potential Premier League title decider and an FA Cup semi-final. That impressive set of fixtures – and the fact they have already secured one leg of a potential quadruple – bolsters any argument. 

 

And it helps that, expertly and efficiently, Liverpool have gone about replacing their famed forward line. It is not just Salah whose contract runs out next year, even if he has dominated the discussions: the deals for Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino are also up. Not so long ago the trio were simply irreplaceable. Now? The arrival of Diogo Jota and then, in January, whisked away from under the nose of Tottenham Hotspur, Luis Diaz, has changed the dynamic. 

 

It is superbly shrewd business. The successors, if Salah can ever truly be replaced, are already in the building. Liverpool do not actually have to sign anyone if he is sold and if they do they can without being held to ransom. There is no urgency – and how often can any club say that when they might lose their star man? This is succession planning writ large. 

It is no longer just about Salah, Mané and Firmino. There are five forwards to choose from and – in an echo of the ‘Fab Four’ when Philippe Coutinho was at the club – they are all inter-changeable. Indeed, the sale of Coutinho to Barcelona has to be an object lesson for Liverpool fans to continue to trust in what is going on. 

 

The Brazilian was sold in January 2018. Liverpool had already lined up the signing of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson followed so there has to be faith that if Salah is sold – or Mané – then the money will be spent wisely. It would be interesting, for example, to gauge the response of Liverpool fans if Salah went and, say, Jude Bellingham was signed from Borussia Dortmund. 

 

Of course Liverpool want Salah to stay. But they are unprepared to pay the £400,000-a-week he appears to be demanding, not least because it would unsettle a dressing room which has several other coveted players, led by Van Dijk, who would understandably expect pay hikes should their team-mate’s salary leave theirs so far behind. Liverpool just cannot afford that kind of inflation. 

Manchester United and Arsenal paid a heavy price – quite literally – by buckling to the demands of David de Gea and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and look at how that has worked out. Liverpool also have the trump card of Klopp who, like Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, has skilfully navigated between giving the impression that no player is bigger than him, or the club, but also of making them still feel like world superstars. 

 

No club should ever be in a position where they ‘cannot afford to lose’ any player. The greater concern for Liverpool has to be what happens when Klopp goes in 2024. 

 

With Salah, Liverpool appear happy to wait it out. We do not know exactly how much they have offered but it clearly falls short of his demands. They know that age is against the player, who is 30 in June, even if Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski have recorded extraordinary numbers until well into their 30s. Salah could easily do the same. 

 

But Liverpool also know the transfer market is in a very difficult place. Salah’s representatives may well be trying to interest Paris St-Germain in their client but PSG’s priority remains to persuade Kylian Mbappé to stay and with Lionel Messi and Neymar already on their books do they even want another, older forward? They will also be wary of being used in negotiations. 

Juventus have also been cited as a possible destination but can they afford a deal? Gone are the days when the names of Real Madrid – who are concentrating on Mbappé and Erling Haaland at present – and Barcelona can be reeled off as nailed-on suitors. 

 

A player of Salah’s ability and profile will always only be affordable to a select few clubs but that number is smaller than ever, especially as he will surely not want to tarnish his legacy at Liverpool by going to a Premier League rival. 

 

So this can be turned back on Salah. He may earn more money somewhere else and it may end up being a point of principle to refuse a new contract that does not meet his satisfaction (never underestimate the influence of ego and pride in such decisions). But can he go somewhere else and be guaranteed the same level of success and adulation? 

 

For Liverpool there does not need to be any great drama; they have already ridden out the storm. It would be a coup if Salah were to sign and stay but it is certainly not a crisis if he does not.

I’m disgusted that Alison has failed to get on the scoresheet this season.

[VladimirIlyich]

For once I am on the owner's side here and it's good to see Salah realising his personal success is as much dependent on those around him as himself. Shame he can't fuck those hangers on off though,especially those Egyptian FA rats. It seems FA are the same all over, Fuckin Arseholes.

Looks gassed. Been crap since AFCON with Egypt completely burning him out. 

[AdamD]

Form is temporary Class is permanent. He will be back

[an tha]

The biggest players step up in the biggest games - the perfect time for Salah to burst back to form.

 

This shite with the AFCON and Egypt has definitely impacted him as badly if not worse than a lot of us feared.

 

He's played extra time in 5 successive games for Egypt where extra time is possible (with 4 other games on top around those 5, so 9 international games and every fucking minute of them too) since middle of Jan ....on top of all the games he has played for us - it's bound to jade anyone....it is even more of a burden when he is his national teams top man and carries all the expectation on his shoulders for them - add in the double disappointment he has faced on top and it is no wonder the lad is below par.

 

It is a ridiculous amount of football - and it isn't healthy, it should not be happening.

 

Hopefully the adrenalin of the big games we have coming up will help carry him through - and the potential to win the biggest prizes acts as a boost - the lad needs a goal right now though....Sunday would be a great time to get one.

Mo Salah! Mo Salah, running down the wing! Salah, Egyptian king!

[Sweeney287]

I love him, my son loves him, we all want him to stay, so please Mo, just sign the contract, get yourself settled and away from any distractions and start banging the goals in again. Easy peasy. 

[Strontium]

I thought he looked a bit sharper tonight.

 

He's going to score on Sunday.
