Dejan Lovren runs around in the shirt of PAOK Salonika, but played alongside Mo Salah at Liverpool 2017-2020, a period where the two players became real friends. So when Lovren talks about whether he thinks there will be an extension with Liverpool on his Egyptian friend, we listen.
Salah is on an expiring contract, but shows every league round he is worth his weight in gold for Liverpool. 21 goals and 13 assists in 23 Premier League games says a lot why Arne Slot is thundering to the top of the PL table.
“I have to be careful what I say now..”, Lovren begins to WiniWin.
“Honestly, I don’t know the exact numbers, but no matter what he asks for, I think he deserves it. It’s simple – this guy does his job on the pitch,” the Croatian continues.
“Some people will say he’ll soon be 33, but look at Ronaldo – he’s 40 and still playing. Mohamed Salah is still scoring goals, he is in fantastic physical and mental shape. He still plays for the national team, so what’s the problem? He is seven or eight years younger than Ronaldo. So what’s the problem with Salah? No one can find answers, and that’s why I find it difficult.
Then comes the friend’s status report:
“Salah believes that there are some things missing from the club’s side and I hope they are resolved soon. But the current reality is that he is closer to leaving than to staying.
Closer to leaving than to staying.
