Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s head coach, has been speaking about Mohamed Salah’s contract situation and revealed how he will react if he decides to leave Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah’s contract situation at Anfield remains unresolved and currently, he is heading towards leaving the Reds on a free transfer in the summer.
Liverpool are set for further contract talks with Salah over the international break as they desperately attempt to tie him down to a new deal.
The forward is away on international duty at the moment with Eypgyt and his national team manager has been speaking about his situation on Merseyside.
Hossam Hassan ready to back Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool contract decision
Hossam Hassan claims he will be the first to person support Mohamed Salah whatever the next step in his career may be.
Hassan told the media: “I will be the first to support and stand by Salah in any decision he makes. I know it’s not an easy situation, but he is a great player who will handle it well. I wish him success wherever he goes – he is Egypt’s finest ambassador.”
The Egyptian national team boss’ quotes seem to suggest the 32-year-old remains undecided about his next move which may worry Liverpool fans.
David Ornstein provides the latest on Mohamed Salah’s contract
Liverpool remain confident of reaching an agreement to extend Salah’s contract and believe he is still happy at Anfield, according to David Ornstein.
Ornstein told The Athletic: “I just know Liverpool have been optimistic for some time that they will reach an agreement because, ultimately, they want Salah to stay and there is a belief that he is happy and would like the same. There has so far been nothing to indicate talks have stopped or are not moving in a positive direction.
Talk of potential moves to the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and the Saudi Pro League are also always firmly rejected by sources.
“Furthermore, when you make checks on rumours/ reports/ suggestions that Salah might be set for a move to the Saudi Pro League or PSG, for example, you tend to receive pretty immediate and firm denials,” added Ornstein.
