Perhaps the best player in the world at the moment is Mohamed Salah. In addition to leading Liverpool's Premier League championship challenge, the Egyptian King has proved invincible in the UEFA Champions League. No team in the world wouldn't try their hardest to acquire him on their roster after he scored 11 goals and made seven assists during 13 Premier League games.
Although it would be incredibly offensive to the forward, it was claimed on Monday that Salah may be open to signing a one-year agreement extension to stay with the team. The greatest praise FSG could receive should be that Salah is obviously anxious to stay at Anfield. Liverpool seldom ever signs a proven world-beater. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe were never tied to the team, and the club is rarely associated with a popular name that has any true meaning.
One of the greatest football players in the world is expressing his desire to continue with the team in this instance. He's making it clear that he intends to stay. For FSG as well as Michael Edwards, there could not have been a more important open goal. Pay him what he wants, statistics be damned.
Should Mohamed Salah accept a one-year contract at Liverpool?
It is disrespectful to offer him a one-year deal, placing arguably one of the club's best employees in recent memory in a precarious position once more. We don't really love you, Mo, but we do. In a year, let's see if we want to part up. For a man who may very well be in the running for the Ballon d'Or in a year, it does not seem like a fair or fitting award.
Salah is deserving of playing for Anfield for the remainder of his career. Since Liverpool constitutes one of the largest teams in the world with enormous income and turnover, there is really no need to transfer him to another team for financial reasons. To paraphrase Jamie Carragher's adage, "give him his dough," Salah has accomplished enough at Liverpool to warrant his demands.
