UPDATE NOW 🚨🚨 Mo Salah sign new Liverpool contract

Liverpool pair make feelings clear over Mo Salah future as star sets impressive new Champions League record

Liverpool’s Mo Salah will be out of contract in June

Liverpool pair Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister have spelt out exactly why FSG have to do all in their power to tie Mo Salah down to a new contract after the star set an impressive new record and with pundit Peter Crouch waxing lyrical about the Egyptian’s latest goal.

Arne Slot’s side made it two from two in the Champions League as they eased their way past to victory against a second successive Serie A side – this time Bologna – who they beat 2-0 in a somewhat strange game at Anfield. Salah set the tone early by setting up Mac Allister for a simple Liverpool opener, before the Italians threatened an equaliser, only for Salah to score an excellent second to wrap up the win.

In scoring in front of the Kop end with an exquisite shot into the top corner after cutting in from the right wing, Salah has taken his tally to 48 goals in 90 Champions League games, making him the highest-scoring African player in the competition’s history.

While the records continue to tumble for the Egyptian king, he now has under nine months left on his contract at Anfield and will be eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas suitor of his choice from January 1.

Talks over an extension are expected to step up in the coming days, but in the wake of the player taking his tally for the season to six goals and five assists from nine games so far this season, both Mac Allister and Alisson have made their feelings crystal clear.

Underlining his importance to the side, Mac Allister told TNT Sports: “A goal is a goal, in this team when we make a run Mo [Salah] can see everything. Really happy for him, I think it was a good night for everyone.”

Liverpool No 1 Alisson echoed those sentiments, adding: “He’s a player that helps us a lot, sometimes it looks like he’s not in the game but suddenly a perfect touch, he puts the ball in the top corner. That’s his quality, his strength

“We are lucky to have him but we always have to highlight the hard work the team had and a lot to improve but good enough to win the game.”
