Mohamed Salah has revealed that Steven Gerrard gave him advice that helped persuade him to leave Liverpool . The Egyptian will go in the summer , a year before the end of his contract, having spent nine years at Anfield after following Gerrard’s suggestion that he went on his own terms . But Salah, who turns 34 in the summer, insists he is in good shape, can still offer a lot and said that he “didn’t become old overnight” as he wonders which his next club will be.

” While Salah has only scored 12 of his 257 Liverpool goals this season – compared to 34 in 2024-25, when he was named PFA Player of the Year for the third time – he feels he is not finished yet. Salah suffered a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace (Reuters) “I feel good,” he added. “Body-wise I feel alright.

I didn’t become old overnight. Last season I had this incredible season, I think I have a lot to give still and I will see what is the best for me. ” Salah’s future was called into question when he was dropped by head coach Arne Slot in November and then gave an explosive interview in which he accused Liverpool of throwing him under the bus, leading to his omission for the Champions League trip to face Inter Milan.
