Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has stated this would be his “last year” at the club, as he eyes another Premier League title at Anfield.
The Egyptian international reiterated that he refuses to be distracted by the uncertainty about his future, as he concentrates on having an “unbelievable season” to meet his target of winning the Premier League again with Liverpool.
32 year-old Salah, who is into the last six months of his contract, currently leads the way in Premier League for both goals and assists (17G, 13A), as the Reds hold a six-point advantage atop the standings with a game in hand.
Salah said: “The thing in my head is that, if this is the last six months, what do you want to see in the future? Do you want to look back and say I was concerned or stressed about the contract? Or do you just want to say I had an unbelievable season? That’s what is in my head.
“If I ever feel distraction, I just remind myself I want to look back and say I had an unbelievable season. That’s what I want to do.”
While there have been talks with the club, the former Chelsea and Roma man said: “There’s nothing, we’re far away from any progress, so we just need to wait and see.”
Salah has scored 231 goals for Liverpool since his arrival from Italian Serie A side AS Roma in 2016, winning the UEFA Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020.
“I have time off, I go away with the family, see my parents, then one to two days to write my targets for the season,” Salah added.
“The first thing on the list was to win the Premier League with Liverpool; I always say the Champions League, but this is the first time I said I really want to win the Premier League with Liverpool. Probably because we didn’t celebrate the one we won with the club in the way we wanted.
“And coming back here, it’s my last year in the club, and I want to do something special for the city.
“We waited for that title for 30 years or so, win it, it was the pandemic at that time. We didn’t have time to celebrate it in the right way. Hopefully we can do it this year.”
