Mo Salah expresses his desire to win a second Premier League title with Liverpool before his contract expires at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old forward, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has been in scintillating form, propelling Arne Slot's team into a commanding six-point lead at the top of the table. The Egypt international has scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists in 18 Premier League games this season. Reports have suggested Salah is nearing an agreement with Liverpool, but he said a deal was still 'far away' after last weekend's 5-5 win at West Ham.
Salah was part of the side that ended Liverpool's 30-year wait to win a league title in 2020, but celebrations were muted as the players lifted the trophy at an empty Anfield during the coronavirus pandemic. 'It's my last year in the club so you want to do something special for the city,' Salah told Sky Sports in an interview released on Friday. 'We waited for that title for 30 years or so. So, to win it and it was the pandemic at that time, we didn't really have time to celebrate it in the right way. It's not a nice thing to do, so hopefully we can do it this year.'Captain Virgil van Dijk and England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold are also now free to discuss terms with foreign clubs for next season. Under previous manager Jurgen Klopp, they won a clean sweep of trophies, including the Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and League Cup. But the League Cup is the only one they have won more than once and Salah believes his generation of players need a second Premier League title to cement their legacy. 'My motivation this year was to win a trophy and be a big part of winning that trophy, especially the Premier League,' he said. 'I still believe the team needs a trophy. There is still half of the team left like me, Trent, Virgil, Alisson (Becker), Robbo (Andy Robertson)
