Mohamed Salah ‘wants three-year contract to stay at Liverpool’ – Top source

Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed Mohamed Salah wants to sign a three-year contract if he is to remain a Liverpool player.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider's Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – suggested the 32-year-old, who would be 36 at the end of a three-year extension, is trying to "pile pressure" on owners Fenway Sports Group.

Salah spoke out after scoring a brace in the 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday (24 November) to express his "disappointment" at not being offered a new Liverpool deal.

He told NBC Sports: "We are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club. I'm probably more out than in. You know I have been in the club for many years.

"There is no club like this. But in the end, it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven't received anything yet about my future."

Salah is in the final year of his deal at Anfield and can discuss a pre-contract agreement with foreign sides in January as things stand.

Liverpool face a triple headache with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk also out of contract at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Salah will demand three-year Liverpool extension, says Wyness

Wyness told Football Insider's Insider Track podcast: "Both sides probably want something done, but it's going to be around the detail. He wants a three-year contract to stay, apparently, from what I'm told.

"He may be trying to pile pressure on the owners to try and get this negotiation over the line.

"It's business, and it's a legitimate tactic.

"I'm sure there has been discussion about terms. It could come down to whether he gets a two or three-year contract, but we're coming to a crucial point in these negotiations now."
