Looking at the overall stats, Salah has been very good this season, scoring 17 goals and providing nine assists in 28 league appearances, and seven goals and three assists in cup competitions. However, it is worth noting that most of Salah's goals have come in the first half of the league, with only two penalties scored in the last seven games, and none of his 20 attempts at open action have been missed, which has also contributed to Liverpool's sluggish record.
Of course, it is unreasonable to attribute the whole reason for Liverpool's decline in performance to Salah alone, but as the team's number one star and Liverpool's core attacker, Salah's performance in recent times has indeed not met the expectations of fans. In Liverpool's attacking front, Salah has been given a lot of shooting opportunities as the core, but the problem of prodigal shooting has not been solved for a long time, the difference is that he has been able to score a steady stream of goals through a large number of shots, but the efficiency and quality of shooting have declined more seriously recently.
Salah's sluggish form is also a reflection of Liverpool's overall poor form, with the team's overall tempo and control of the game both declining in recent times. On the one hand, as the season enters a critical period, the players' mentality is more nervous, coupled with the decline in physical strength, which leads to the team's overall performance not meeting expectations. On the other hand, Liverpool is also greatly affected by off-field factors, the change of management, the rumors of the head coach and the impact of contract renewal issues, all of which affect the performance of Liverpool and Salah.
Salah and Liverpool's contract still has 1 year to expire, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on the issue of renewal, judging from the current news, Liverpool is not in a hurry to renew Salah's contract, and his contract will be confirmed after the new coach is in place. Salah's current salary is more than 300,000 pounds, which is the highest paid player in the team, but his age makes Liverpool not particularly comfortable with a long-term contract, and the new manager's tactics cannot be confirmed, the next communication and negotiation between the two sides will become crucial, if no agreement can be reached, Salah is likely to leave the team at the end of the season, after all, Liverpool will not accept the result of losing Salah for free.
According to the English media, the current most interested in Salah is still from the Saudi league, with the age of Ronaldo and the form of Benzema and Neymar not meeting expectations, the Saudi league urgently needs a new top star to join, Salah's huge influence in the Saudi league is naturally the best choice. However, compared to last year's offer of up to 150 million pounds, Saudi Arabia's offer for Salah has been lowered to only about 75 million pounds, even so, Liverpool will still consider it carefully, after all, his contract is only one year.
