Ahead of a huge match at home against Real Madrid tomorrow night, Liverpool superstar forward Mohamed Salah made major waves by saying he is ‘more in than out’ in terms of his future at the club. Out of contract this summer, the future of Mo Salah is obviously very much up in the air. However, manager Arne Slot maintains that his Egyptian magician on the pitch is not distracted by contract extension negotiations.
Expect him to be in the starting lineup tomorrow night, surrounded by a very strong supporting cast.
