The TRUTH about MOHAMED SALAH'S CONTRACT INTERVIEW! w/Liverpool Echo journalist Paul Gorst

[@xboxgamer300]

I've got no doubts Salah will sign

[@carlbernard7615]

For Liverpool?

[@khalxd1991]

Yeah it’s just negotiation tactics carra being dumb to over exaggerate it he wants to stay here

[@sonark289]

How can he sign if nothing is offered lol

[@martindonaton3603]

@@sonark289firstly who says lol secondly negotiations go before an offer he will be offered a contract weather or not he excepts it is down to him

[@elmirbrdar1045]

He will certainly sign, for what club is what we are wondering

[@mohamedismail2485]

FSG aren’t poor. They are just concerned about “me too” response from other players. But that shouldn’t prevent them from rewarding players according to abilities and achievements. It’s NOT fair to pay everyone the same in any work environment unless they are all producing the same output.

[@TerribleEnglish]

Salah isn't performing 4 or 5 times better than Díaz for example

[@djkittypuff]

Then Salah should have no problem receiving a decent basic wage and then add ons based on his goals and assists.

[@DazzleDaveLFC]

The fact Luka Modric can still do it at Real Madrid at 39 should be enough to show FSG that English football professionals don't fade in same way as their American sporting professionals do

[@craigbeckley2710]

Modric is a midfielder who doesn't sprint hard all game. The reality is, no matter how fit you keep yourself, as you age you are at greater risk of injuries from high intensity efforts. They probably feel, on a 3 year contract, he is going to have a bad injury along the way and will never return to full fitness again... Salah is a great player and should be given another 2 years, but you can't just hold on to old players forever... no matter how good they still are, age will catch up at some point and you have to be wary of that.

[@richfroggatt2452]

Sign him on the term he wants, if he drops off sell him. Certain leagues would take him on name alone regardless of form.

[@TerribleEnglish]

They would have sold him, I reckon, but nobody came in for him.

[@nate687]

@@TerribleEnglishnot true in the slightest

[@TerribleEnglish]

@@nate687 How so? Did any offers come in for him? No.

[@keeganlubbe2470]

Very interesting insight. I'm quite confident Mo extends now.

[@matthewrigby7054]

Im not and trent . I think only vvd will sign

[@marty1459]

He literally had no new information, just vague meaningless joints he's made up as 'news'. He's a gossip column writer and that's being kind.

[@icu6661]

Have any journalist asked the club?

[@sherwood9917]

I don't think Mo said more than he wanted to; he said exactly what he wanted the public to know. Mo is very smart.

[@TerribleEnglish]

He's trying to get the fans to pressure the club into offering him more money 💰 and the fans are falling for it

[@sherwood9917]

@@TerribleEnglish However, FSG does not have a reputation of caring what the fans say. Mo is simply making it clear that if he leaves, it's because he was not offered a contract. He also wants to let other clubs know they can holler in a few weeks.

[@TerribleEnglish]

@sherwood9917 But 'not offered a contract' is nonsense. They don't present endless contracts to players with varying terms, hoping they'll sign one of them. They have talks, then when they seem to have an agreement they draw up a contract for the player and agent to check over and sign. No doubt they've had talks, like this: Mo's agent: "Mo whats X pounds per week" FSG: "Not a chance, be more reasonable"

[@sherwood9917]

@@TerribleEnglish Of course, what Mo means is that he was not offered a contract that is acceptable to him. I think we all understood that.

[@TerribleEnglish]

@sherwood9917 I don't think many people understand that, ha ha. Most people are falling for it and saying "The club is a disgrace!" etc

[@carlbernard7615]

I think not telling the fans anything at any point isnt exactly going down well, and if any were to leave on a free, FSG will have some hard questions to answer, but that is pretty much their modus operandi

[@KillerDarc]

As much as I love Liverpool and want to side with the club. We can't forget that same thing happened to so many players under FSG. They weren't given any sort of clarity on their contract situation and eventually got released on a free. Salah would have saw that and thought, "Nah, that ain't happening to me, even if I leave, I'm leaving on my terms, and the fans should know what happened."

[@djkittypuff]

So how much has Salah wanted for his new contract and what's the length he's asked for? He needs to make this clear so the fans will know.

[@lynnwrigley4244]

I think we all want mo to stay

[@ABx9i]

No i’m not

[@Randomlyimpressive]

@@ABx9ithen you are not a red get out of here

[@realityconquest2195]

It’s sad to see the Redmen’s tv trying to sound impartial about the contracts delays . We thought this is a genuine fans channel. You don’t treat your top 3 players like that. Shameless

[@Mo_R9]

In case you havnt realised this channel is far far from that. If anything they are like carragher, you know the FSG bum lickers.

[@djkittypuff]

Fans that make demands but are not paying a single cent? Talk is so cheap. Put your money where your mouth is and show FSG how to run LFC.

[@johnclark1925]

Genuine fans support the Club… they do not get played by comments made by a player into all media channels with express purpose of bringing the Club into disrepute, creating pressure, causing our manager to deal with the fall out of the comments in press conferences and harming the team dynamic. Salah will get a contract. But… he and his agent need to shut up and do the deal behind closed doors not in the media.

[@PuddlesofLFC]

Really? It’s not just salah. It’s our top 3 outfield players. That’s a club issue, not Mo. Salah is arguably the best player in the league, one of the best in the world. He should be paid accordingly. Give him a pay rise, LFC is one of the biggest clubs in the world, they have $. He still puts up crazy numbers. If they want to sell him in a year or two and still get some $ from another big club/saudi - everyone wins. Letting him go for free would be such a fuck up. Worst case scenario we sign him to a deal to make Saudi pay a transfer fee. No brainer

[@droolz7883]

Mo loves to win and loves to score and he got many years left we are stupid if we let him go

[@f1b1777]

If the Adidas deal is real then it’s in the interest of both LFS/FSG and Adidas as Mo is Already an Adidas man. so may be Adidas and FSG do a deal for extra money as they Know within a year that extra money be repaid through sales in Egypt Alone never mind rest of world. That’s how both Adidas and FSG should look at it (as said if adidas deal is real ). Plus After Mo hangs his boots he Still be Valuable to both LFC and Adidas.

[@kopite833]

Each year of next contract could be increasingly based on goal / assist bonuses, so he can still earn huge money if he maintains his levels. Protects club while giving him as many years and as much money as he wants

[@MikkelMane]

Nobody with an iota of intelligence would sign that as it doesn’t account for injuries

[@kopite833]

@MikkelMane the guy has been bullet proof, his body looks like it'd hold up like a Milner, Modric, or Giggs

[@ciansheridan7689]

Paul Gorst telling us exactly what we know APU 😴

[@FrankCastleThePunisher666]

Salah will sign. He HAS been offered a contract, they all have. It’s just Mo playing media games like he did during his last contract extension. The time it’s taking will also be down to his agent (again), trying to get more agent fees and holding things up, just like last time

[@owarbizzy1644]

GOOD EVENING FROM THE HEATHROW AIRPORT AREA OF WEST LONDON GENT'S ✌🏽

[@markredwood9049]

For what it's worth i personally think the 2 Afcons that would fall into a 3 year contract, can't affor to lose him for 10 weeks mid season again.

[@JKkkkdddffrr]

[@ragerider6283]

Salah's agent is definitely ochestrating this & they seem to be getting desperate if he's doing of the cuff interviews. The reality is Salah wants to stay & Liverpool want to keep him, BUT both he & the club are going to have to seriously compromise. Seemingly the issue is contract length & for me, he can't expect for more than two years with the option of a third & on the same money tops.

[@mikeyflanagan123]

No wonder he doesn’t go over to you. 🙄 He has once and now your trying to write a book get a tv series and a movie going after wards. 👍🏻

[@daveUK1066]

Give him a 4 year contract, flog him as soon as he drops off to Saudi in 2 years for good money , everyones a winner🧐

[@TerribleEnglish]

Bottom line, we have plenty of forwards and we did fine when Salah was out injured last season, so why would they keep paying him that huge money?

[@marty1459]

I am done listening to Ian Doyle, Paul Gorst and anyone else from the Echo because all they do is make stuff up and create click bait headlines out of quotes that always end up being nothing to do with the headline at the top of the article. The fact they even call themselves journalists is crazy to me. More like gossip column writers. They don't know anymore than the fans do and are just profiting from the delay in any factual announcements. Don't let them mug you off.

[@IriFoxDan]

Not withstanding the terrible clickbait (like a photo of Virgil, Harvey and Salah laughing with a gardener in the background "long serving Liverpool 'superhero' QUITS for Madrid" and it will be the gardener retiring to be an ex pat) the last time I braved the Echo site my browser was flooded with so many "1 simple trick to burn belly fat" and "you won't believe what was in this necklace" and all that shite.

[@matthewrigby7054]

I dont feel confident with salah and trent signing on

[@Kevla74]

Rashford casimiero and Stirling on the same money, embarrassing, give the man his worth. I swear if Mo leaves I’m done with Liverpool till fsg leave

[@stevenrichards2356]

There's no I in team

[@jamessutherington3471]

You might think I’m absolutely mad but I genuinely think it would be for the best if he goes at end of the season, reason being he’s only going to decline, I’d rather remember him being awesome than slowly getting worse and frustrating.

[@thename2761]

Yeah you are fucking bonkers lad.

[@7ChaosBlack]

He's 32 and nothing suggests he's going to decline. Lewa is 36 and still performing.
