Salah admits it is ‘possibly the last Man City game’ he will play for Liverpool

Mohamed Salah has given another hint about his future at Liverpool, admitting today's dominant 2-0 win at Anfield was 'possibly the last Manchester City game' he will play for the club.

The Egyptian reminded us once again of his importance to Arne Slot's team. He assisted Cody Gakpo's opener on Sunday before sealing a crucial win with a coolly converted penalty in the second half to leave his team nine points clear at the top of the league.

The winger's contract expires at the end of this season and he claimed there are no new stay offers on the table from Anfield chiefs in a shock interview after leading the Reds to a 3-2 win last Sunday had inspired on Southampton.

The 32-year-old forward made a rare chat with Mail Sport and a small group of other reporters after scoring twice in the away win, saying he was 'more out than in' and criticizing the club.

Speaking about his contract break, Salah said: 'We are almost in December and I have not yet received any offers to stay at the club.'

The Liverpool star, who is still refusing to let the mounting speculation affect his play, revealed this afternoon that the statement win could be his last game against City.

He told Sky Sports: 'That was in my head, that this might be the last City game I play for Liverpool so far, so I'm going to enjoy it.

“The atmosphere was incredible, so I'm going to enjoy every second of this and if we just win the league, see what will happen.”

Salah also explained the importance of the atmosphere at Anfield, which was in top form this afternoon as the home side moved 11 points clear of last year's champions.

'[Anfield] is very special,” he said. “I've said before that I don't take it for granted.

'I'm enjoying every minute here and it feels like home, so it's a special feeling to always score and win games at Anfield.'

Sunday's serene victory condemned Pep Guardiola to a first seven-match winless streak of his managerial career.

The home side dominated the opening period at Anfield against City, who still looked shell-shocked after their midweek capitulation against Feyenoord in the Champions League.

And Liverpool's superiority paid off inside twelve minutes when Gakpo turned in a brilliant cross from Salah to send the Reds fans into an uproar.

City remain a shadow of their former selves and did not attempt their first shot until the 39th minute, but emerged as a more energetic team for the second period – perhaps after some half-time fireworks from Guardiola.

However, they still failed to register a single effort on target, and when goalkeeper Stefan Ortega brought Luis Diaz into the penalty area, a calm penalty from Salah left the champions staring down the barrel of a fourth straight Premier League defeat and the title slipped away. of them.

Salah has now scored 223 goals for Liverpool in 368 appearances since joining from AS Roma in 2017 and will be a major loss for Anfield if he leaves on a free transfer next summer.

Last week he dropped a huge hint that he may be on the verge of an exit, giving reporters insight into the state of contract negotiations.

“I'm probably outside more than inside,” he said. 'You know I've been at the club for years.

'There is no such club. But ultimately it's out of my hands. Like I said, it's December and I haven't received anything about my future yet.

'I love the fans. The fans love me. Ultimately it is not in my hands, nor in the hands of the fans.'
