Liverpool star Mohamed Salah pens moving message on social media
after his team’s 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Premier League on Saturday amid uncertainty over his future at Anfield.

Salah’s contract with Liverpool is set to expire at the end of the 2024-25 season and a Mirror report said there was “no sign yet of progress in negotiations over a new deal” for the Egypt international . Salah has been an integral part of Liverpool since joining the club from AS Roma in 2017, guiding the club to several titles including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup.

Salah scored in the 72nd minute against Brighton to propel Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table. The Reds have 25 points from 10 matches, two more than defending champion Manchester City (23 points), who lost to Bournemouth on Saturday. “This club belongs to the top of the ranking. Nothing less. All teams win matches but there is only one champion in the end. This is what we want.

Thank you for your support last night. Whatever happens, I will never forget how it feels to score at Anfield,” the 32-year-old posted on “X” on Sunday. His goal against Brighton was Salah’s 164th goal for Liverpool. Salah has found the net seven times and has five assists in 10 Premier League matches this season.

“The second goal was a special from Mo Salah. It’s neither the first nor the last time he’s scored from that position,” Liverpool manager Arne Slot said after the win over Brighton.

After Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-0 in September,
Salah had suggested that this could be his last season with Liverpool. “As you know it’s my last year at the club, I just want to enjoy it, I don’t want to think about it, no one in the club has talked to me about a contract yet, so I say it’s my last new deal? It’s not up to me… but no one has spoken to me at the club,” he said.

Liverpool next host Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening. Liverpool are second in the 36-team table with nine points from three matches, with only goal difference separating them from first-place Aston Villa.
