New report reveals the primary reason Mohamed Salah hasn’t signed a new contract yet

Liverpool and Mohamed Salah have reached a preliminary agreement on a new two-year contract that would see the 32-year-old stay at Anfield until 2027.

Salah’s current deal with the club expires at the end of the season, and with his impressive form, his potential departure has raised concerns among many Reds fans.

The Egyptian forward has been outstanding in the 2024/25 season, contributing 20 goals and 17 assists in 20 appearances. This remarkable performance has positioned him as a strong contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, though securing a new contract with Liverpool is currently his top priority.

David Ornstein has offered a positive update on Salah’s future, reporting that both Salah and Virgil van Dijk are expected to remain at Anfield beyond this season.

Following this, a new report has confirmed that an agreement has been made in principle, despite Salah’s recent comments after Liverpool’s win over West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

According to Football Insider, Salah has agreed in principle to a two-year contract extension with Liverpool, aligning with Ornstein’s insights from the club.

The delay in finalizing the new deal is believed to be due to complications concerning Salah’s image rights, an issue that can likely be resolved quickly. It is expected that both Salah and Van Dijk will soon have their new contracts announced by the Premier League club.

The continuation of both players will be a major boost to Liverpool and manager Arne Slot, as their contributions have been crucial to the team’s success in the first half of the 2024/25 season.

Michael Owen identifies the sole team capable of preventing Liverpool from winning the title

Liverpool are heavy favourites to win the Premier League this season, and former Reds star Michael Owen has identified the “only danger” to their title hopes.

Owen believes Arsenal pose the “only danger” to Liverpool’s challenge for the Premier League title.

Currently, Liverpool lead the table by seven points, having only lost once this season under their new manager, Arne Slot. Arsenal are in fourth place but could move up to second if they defeat Ipswich at the Emirates tonight.

This would bring them to within six points of Liverpool, who still have a game in hand. Owen, however, sees them as the only team with a realistic chance to threaten Liverpool’s lead. He does acknowledge, though, that Liverpool are “streaking clear” of the competition and says he would be “astonished” if they failed to win the league.

“They’re [Liverpool] absolutely loving it aren’t they, you can only imagine that dressing room,” Owen said to Premier League Productions after Liverpool’s 3-1 comeback victory over Leicester on Boxing Day.

“People will say, they [Liverpool] will come out and say, ‘we don’t look at other teams, we just concentrate on ourselves,’ and they’re right to do that. They are concentrating on themselves, and they are motoring along really well.

“But everyone around them is falling away at the same time—Chelsea lost today, Manchester City dropped points again, and they’re probably out of it now. When I look at the league table, I’d be astonished if Liverpool don’t go on to win it now.

“I think their only danger could be Arsenal. I don’t fancy Chelsea, I think they are too young, too inexperienced. Forest are having a great season but they can’t sustain that. Newcastle are too far behind, even though they are coming into good form at the moment. Bournemouth can’t challenge either.

“For me, it’s Arsenal and Arsenal only in terms of danger to them [Liverpool]. But I think they’re only a danger to themselves, the way they are playing, unless they implode themselves, unless they have a Manchester City moment, it looks like they’re streaking clear.”
