Mohamed Salah remains distant from finalising a new contract with Liverpool, despite leading their pursuit of another Premier League title. The 32-year-old forward's current deal ends this season, allowing him to negotiate with non-English clubs starting January 1. After scoring his 20th goal in a dominant 5-0 victory over West Ham, Salah admitted he is not close to agreeing on new terms with the club.

Salah expressed his commitment to Liverpool's success, stating, "We are far away from that. The only thing on my mind is I want Liverpool to win the league and I want to be part of that. I will do my best for the team to win the trophy." He acknowledged the competition from other teams and emphasised the need for focus and humility.

Sunday's match marked the eighth time Salah has both scored and assisted in a Premier League game this season, setting a record for any player in one campaign. With 30 goal involvements—17 goals and 13 assists—he is on course to match Harry Kane's achievement of scoring 20+ goals in nine Premier League seasons.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk also face expiring contracts this summer. Reports from Spain suggest Real Madrid is confident about luring Alexander-Arnold to LaLiga. Despite these uncertainties, Liverpool manager Arne Slot remains untroubled by the potential departures of key players before next season.

Slot commented, "I have control to a certain extent over them, from what I expect from them on the pitch, and I'm really pleased to see what Virgil brings, what Trent brings and what Mo brings. On their private lives, I don't have control over them."

Liverpool's Current Standing

Liverpool currently leads Nottingham Forest by eight points at the top of the Premier League table. Arsenal and Chelsea are yet to play this week. Liverpool's next challenge is against Manchester United on Sunday.

The uncertainty surrounding Salah's contract situation adds intrigue as Liverpool continues its title quest. Fans eagerly await developments while hoping key players remain committed to the club's ambitions.
