Mohamed Salah is nearing another milestone in his football career. With the potential to break important records, he remains without a new contract at Liverpool. The 32-year-old forward is tied with Sergio Agüero for the most goals scored by a non-English player in Premier League history, each having 184 goals. Salah is expected to surpass records this season, possibly including Erling Haaland's 36-goal record from the 2022-2023 season. Currently, Salah has scored 27 goals, making him a favorite to reach new heights as Liverpool aims for their first league title since the 2019-2020 season. Liverpool faces challenges in contract negotiations. Salah's future, alongside teammates like Virgil van Dijk, remains unclear. The club is cautious about offering long-term contracts to older players, even though both are in strong form. If Salah achieves more success before leaving, it could be seen as a significant oversight by the club. Fans and analysts worry that failing to secure Salah could lead to regrets if he departs as a free agent. His scoring prowess at 32 is impressive, and his recent form raises questions about Liverpool's decision-making regarding his contract.
