Mohamed Salah loses his crown after missing a penalty, will there be a contract extension offer?

Despite turning 33, Mohamed Salah is still showing his durability and efficiency, just like he has shown for many years.

Since taking over Liverpool, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) has placed a strong emphasis on data and numbers. This philosophy has been applied not only on the pitch but also in the way the club operates financially. This has sometimes left fans of The Kop feeling disappointed as they wait for bigger investments in the squad.

One of the biggest questions facing FSG is whether to extend the contract of Mohamed Salah, who turns 33 next season. With his current wages of around £350,000 a week, the decision is not an easy one for Liverpool’s board.

However, the numbers Salah brings on the pitch are a strong affirmation that he deserves a new contract from the Anfield team.

Salah is not only a top attacking star, he also stands out for his ability to maintain consistent form over many seasons. Since joining Liverpool in 2017, the Egyptian striker has played at least 34 Premier League games every season, except last season when he had problems with a hamstring injury.

Careful physical care and a professional mentality help Salah maintain perfect physical condition. The 1992-born star is one of the rare players who can play almost continuously, despite the high intensity of the Premier League.

This season alone, Salah has played all 12 Premier League matches, scoring 10 goals and providing 6 assists – statistics far surpassing many players in the same position in Europe’s top leagues.
