Salah pictured for the first time since dropping Liverpool contract bombshell

Mohamed Salah has been spotted for the first time since revealing big news about his future at Liverpool on Sunday.

The Egyptian's contract expires at the end of this season and he claimed in a shocking interview that there are no new offers on the table from Anfield chiefs.

The 32-year-old forward made a rare chat with Mail Sport and a small group of other reporters after scoring twice in the 3-2 win over Southampton, where he said he was 'more out than in' and criticized 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.'

Now the Anfield icon has been photographed for the first time since the blow and the star looks relaxed.

Salah is seen beaming in a white thermal top as he leans on a bar with an espresso.

In last weekend's surprise interview, the winger added: 'I'm probably more out than in. You know I've been at the club for many 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.'

Furious Liverpool supporters branded the club's owners 'shameful' and 'inexcusable' after Salah's revelation.

Salah has started well this season under new manager Arne Slot, scoring 12 goals in 18 games in all competitions, but has left his future on Merseyside up in the air.

Liverpool came from behind to claim a 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday and extended their lead at the top of the table to eight points, with Salah the hero on the south coast.

The Egyptian delivered another performance for the ages, bringing the Reds back from a 2-1 deficit with a penalty and a sweet finish after an Alex McCarthy blunder.

The display was a reminder, if one was needed, of Salah's continued importance to the side after seven years at Anfield.

He joined from Roma for £37million in 2017 after spending two forgettable years at Chelsea, and has been the club's talisman ever since. He scored 223 goals in 367 games and assisted another 99.

Salah has won a Champions League and Premier League title with the Reds and will hope to go far in both seasons alongside Slot this season, especially if it turns out to be his last on Merseyside.

The winger's explosive interview on Sunday proved controversial and former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher branded the Egyptian 'selfish' for his comments on Monday Night Football.

He said: 'Of course there have been discussions. At the moment there is clearly a big difference in valuation, how Salah and his agent value themselves, in terms of contract length, and how Liverpool do.

'The reason Liverpool haven't offered a contract yet is because Mo Salah will reject it. They are still talking, I would like them to meet halfway.

'But I have to say that I am very disappointed in Mo Salah. That interview last night… Liverpool have Real Madrid during the week and Manchester City next weekend. That's the story for Liverpool at the moment.

“And Mo Salah, we are aware – especially the local reporters at the club – that he has been put in the mixed zone twice in seven years. That's absolutely fine.

'But he retires for the third time at Southampton because he won Liverpool the game and put it out.

“If he continues to comment or his agent continues to spread cryptic tweets, that is selfish.

'That is thinking about oneself and not about the football club.'

As reported by Mail Sport, Liverpool have rejected a lucrative £150 million bid from Saudi side Al-Ittihad in 2023. On that occasion, the Reds could not compete with a whopping tax-free salary of £1.25 million per week. offer from the club.
