WATCH: 'You want to do..' - Mohamed Salah provides shocking update on his future at Liverpool

Mohamed Salah's contract at Anfield is coming to an end, and he is expected to depart Liverpool at the end of the current campaign. He has been offered a new contract by the Reds, but negotiations with his representation are still going on.  If a deal is not struck quickly, the 32-year-old may walk away from Anfield as a free agent this summer and sign a pre-contract agreement with overseas teams. Recently, he stated that he is "far away" from agreeing to a new contract.

With 17 goals this season, Salah, 32, leads the Premier League in scoring, but his future is still up in the air as he approaches the last six months of his lucrative contract. Salah made a list of his goals for the season while on vacation last year, and he is committed to doing "something special" by winning his second league title in May.

When Sky Sports asked Salah why he has more focused on winning the Premier League than the Champions League, Salah replied, "Probably coming back here, it's my last year at the club so you want to do something special for the city." 'We waited for that title for 30 years or so. So, to win it and it was the pandemic at that time, we didn't have time to celebrate it in the right way. It's not a nice thing to do, so hopefully we can do it this year."
