Mohamed Salah has set a high standard at Liverpool since his transfer from AS Roma in 2017, and now he appears to be establishing some guidelines at the AXA Training Centre.
Curtis Jones has shared that Salah has introduced a new rule for regular visitors to Liverpool’s coffee bar at the training facility. Jones frequently visits the new station, often accompanied by Kostas Tsimikas, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Salah himself.
Jones noted that Salah has implemented some basic rules for those wanting to join the coffee club at the AXA Centre. “We’ve got this thing that we’re not allowed our phones when we’re there having coffee,” Jones explained to LFCTV. “It’s Mo [Salah] who has brought in the rule.
“If we’re inside there and I’m on the phone then Mo will tell Dom; ‘Text him and tell him that we’re here and want to have a conversation with him.’ In other words; ‘Get off your phone!’”
The time spent bonding over coffee seems to be beneficial for Liverpool, as they currently lead the Premier League and are second in the revamped Champions League after their 1-0 victory against RB Leipzig.
Next, the Reds face title rivals Arsenal on Sunday, with coach Arne Slot aware that a win in North London could put his team seven points ahead of the Gunners. Salah is expected to start that match and continues to be a crucial player for Liverpool, despite some uncertainties regarding his future with only a few months left on his contract.
Salah, now 32, has scored 218 goals in 361 appearances since joining Liverpool from AS Roma.

Replacement for Mohamed Salah found as Liverpool contract speculation arises
Mohamed Salah may leave Liverpool for free at the season’s end, and former Reds midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes Omar Marmoush should be signed as his replacement.
Salah is in the final year of his contract, leaving uncertainty about whether he will extend his stay or depart. Hamann has endorsed Salah’s fellow countryman, Marmoush, as a suitable successor.
Currently playing in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt, Marmoush has netted 10 goals in 10 appearances this season. When asked about the 25-year-old’s potential in the Premier League, Hamann stated to wettbasis, “Yes, absolutely.
“I think that both Frankfurt strikers (Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike) are on the radar of the English. A wonderful couple that harmonise very well with each other. With Ekitike, we knew that he had great potential.
“He had indicated that last season, in the winter, and now he seems to be taking off. With Marmoush, I was always surprised at Wolfsburg that he didn’t really get going. But he’s a wonderful player, a great finisher, and has pace.
“So they’re both players who are obviously very interesting for the Premier League. It will be difficult to follow Salah. I don’t think he has missed ten games in eight or nine years. So it will be difficult to follow him, but I would trust Marmoush to do it.”
Hamann’s comments come after former Liverpool teammate Jamie Carragher expressed hope that Salah will sign a new contract to secure his legacy by breaking records. Currently tied for ninth on the all-time Premier League goalscorers list with Jermain Defoe, Carragher believes Salah will aim to climb higher.
“He’ll have an eye on Thierry Henry and Frank Lampard by the end of this season, I would imagine,” Carragher remarked on Sky Sports. “I think stats like this are one of the biggest reasons why Mo Salah will sign a new contract at Liverpool.
“Of course they’ll be talking about money and length of contract, but I think these are the things that really get the juices flowing for Mo Salah. He breaks all the records at Liverpool, but getting as far as he can up those lists, I think that’s a big part of his focus as a player.”
