Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister has expressed his desire for Mohamed Salah to extend his stay at the club. Salah, along with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, is nearing the end of his contract, which expires after the 2024-25 season. Salah has been in exceptional form this season, contributing 24 goals and assists in just 20 matches across all competitions.

Salah recently scored a penalty and assisted Cody Gakpo in Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Manchester City. This marked the 36th time he has both scored and assisted in a Premier League match, equalling Wayne Rooney's record. Despite his success, there are ongoing speculations about Salah's future at Anfield.

Mac Allister, who joined Liverpool from Brighton in 2023, hopes that Salah and his fellow out-of-contract teammates will renew their contracts. He stated to ESPN Argentina, "Obviously, we want to share a lot of years with him [Salah], but that's a personal decision. The club has to make a decision, and we can't get involved."

Salah left Chelsea permanently in 2016 but made a significant impact upon returning to the Premier League with Liverpool in 2017. Over 369 appearances for the club, he has netted 224 goals and provided 100 assists, securing eight major trophies during this period.

This season alone, Salah surpassed Robbie Fowler's record by reaching 168 Premier League goals for Liverpool. He now ranks eighth on the all-time list of top scorers in the league.

Salah's Work Ethic and Future Challenges

Mac Allister praised Salah's dedication: "When you see him every day, he's a person who works very hard... He's the first to arrive and the last to leave." This work ethic translates onto the pitch where he consistently delivers during crucial moments.

Looking ahead to their next match against Newcastle United, Salah aims to maintain his excellent form. He has been directly involved in 14 goals against Newcastle in his last 13 appearances against them. Only against Manchester United (18) and Brighton (16) does he have more goal involvements.

Liverpool fans hope that negotiations will result in new contracts for these key players soon. The team's performance heavily relies on their contributions as they continue competing at high levels domestically and internationally.
