Mohamed Salah has admitted he wants to win another Premier League title before leaving Anfield.
It is wrong to decide a lot of public pressure on Liverpool to extend his contract, openly admitting he feels like this is his last season at Anfield after entering the final six months of his deal, with talks over an extension ongoing.
A summer departure from Liverpool remains a concrete possibility for Salah, who is of strong interest in the Saudi Pro League, but the Egyptian wants to add another league title to his trophy cabinet before seeing the backbone of the team – Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander – Arnold, Andy Robertson. , Joe Gomez, Alisson and himself – split up.
“My motivation this year was really to win a trophy and be a big part of winning that trophy, especially in the Premier League,” Salah told Liverpool's matchday program ahead of Saturday's meeting with Ipswich Town .
“I still believe that the team needs another trophy because almost half of the team that was here when we won it has left. It's still me, Virgil, Trent, Ali, Joe and Robbo, so that's five or six players left. So I think we need to win one more trophy before we all go.
“I think we need another one. We won almost everything, but we only won (the Premier League) once, so hopefully we can win it twice. It would be nice.”
Salah also took the opportunity to comment on his fantastic achievement of scoring at least 20 goals in each of his eight seasons at the club.
“This is something incredible, something I'm very proud of. I've worked hard for this,” he continued. “And to also be a winger and score goals that make the difference in the game is quite difficult and people will probably appreciate it more when they see that in the future.
“It's quite difficult and complicated because sometimes when you do things every day and every year, people just think it's not difficult. When you do it for six, seven, eight years, people just say it's normal to do it, but in fact it is not easy.
“It's not easy at all because it's very difficult to find a winger to score 20 or 30 goals, for eight years in a row. But again, something I'm proud of.”
