Mo Salah’s Commitment to Liverpool Remains Unwavering, Says Manager Arne Slot
Despite ongoing contract negotiations and speculation about his future at the club, Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah remains fully focused on his duties, according to Liverpool manager Arne Slot. The 29-year-old’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, a period that has seen him express disappointment and uncertainty about his future with the Reds.
However, Slot is adamant that Salah’s importance to the team has never been more evident, stating, “If I look at my lineups, Mo is more in than out.” This sentiments are backed by the player’s impressive form, which has seen him become the club’s top scorer with 12 goals across all competitions this season.
Slot notes that he hasn’t noticed any distraction from Salah, recalling that the forward remained focused and productive following a disappointing draw against Manchester United in September. “He just kept on scoring,” Slot remarked.
The manager’s assessment is reinforced by a recent visit to the Axa training ground, where the topic of contracts didn’t dominate the conversation, indicating the team’s collective focus on their objectives.
Salah’s individual performance has been a crucial factor in Liverpool’s success, with his double in the recent win at Southampton helping the team build an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
