Salah’s form may push up price in Liverpool contract talks, says Slot

He jokes that performances ‘not the best’ for paymasters
Head coach hopes forward will stay beyond this season

Arne Slot has joked that Mohamed Salah’s phenomenal form is perfect for everyone at Liverpool apart from the paymasters who must negotiate his next Anfield contract.

Salah helped strengthen Liverpool’s grip on the Premier League title with a goal and an assist in their impressive win at Manchester City on Sunday. The 32-year-old has 30 goals and 21 assists from 38 appearances this season – 25 goals and 16 assists in the Premier League – and has scored in his past eight outings. Salah requires one more goal to overtake Gordon Hodgson as the third-highest goalscorer in Liverpool’s history.
