Star striker Mohamed Salah definitely does not want to leave Liverpool prematurely. “I’m definitely staying next season,” said Salah during the press conference before the Champions League final with Liverpool against Real Madrid on Saturday (9 p.m. / ZDF and DAZN) in Paris.
The Egyptian did not want to comment on the chances of a contract extension at Anfield for the time being. “I don’t want to talk about that. I just want to see Hendo (Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson) with the trophy – and then hopefully he gives it to me too.”
Liverpool narrowly missed the English football championship in the Premier League on Sunday and is now hoping for a conciliatory end to the season with the handle pot. The 2019 Champions League winner was also in the final against Real Madrid in 2018, but unfortunately lost there. Salah had to be replaced prematurely after a foul.
“I’m very motivated, my motivation is through the roof after what happened last time,” Salah said, “and after Sunday everyone here is motivated. We’re fighting for it and everyone’s looking forward to it.”
