One of the reasons Liverpool were so persistent in brining back Michael Edwards to the club was the fact that it was he who made a foundation of this great Liverpool team. Jurgen Klopp was a perfect manager but Edwards with his singnings was the one who made a foundation for the German to work with. Before he briefly left the club, former Reds sports director brought in players like Virgil van Dijk, Andy Robertson, Alisson, Ibrahima Konate, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott and Fabinho. But without a doubt, his best signing was Mohamed Salah. And now, after being the club‘s top executive, he is in danger of losing him.Crazy five-goal rollercoaster at St. Mary’s ends in Liverpool’s favourAfter becoming CEO, Edwards basically choose Arne Slot as Klopp‘s successor and Richard Hughes as the new sports director. Former Bournemouth director came to Anfield and even thou his new club brought nobody in the July transfer window, he is highly regarded in Liverpool. But in just 36 days, the club‘s best player Mohamed Salah can legally speak to foreign clubs about joining them for free in June 2025. In six months, he could be playing his final game in a Liverpool shirt. His age (32) and monthly wage (350.000 pounds a week plus a number of bonuses) will be determining factor in his protentional new renewal. But his numbers speaks for himself, especially this season: 18 games this season, 12 goals, 10 assists.Mohamed Salah has now scored 10+ goals in each of the last eight Premier League seasons:17/18: ⚽3218/19: ⚽2219/20: ⚽1920/21: ⚽2221/22: ⚽2322/23: ⚽1923/24: ⚽1824/25: ⚽️10His 100th goal away from Anfield for Liverpool. 💯 pic.twitter.com/iXKRKBPbre— Squawka (@Squawka) November 24, 2024 He singlehandedly brought Liverpool a win at Southampton in a game in which Saints deserved at least a point. But he scored a brace to overturn the game and in this match marked a century of away goals for the club to take his total tally to 223 at Liverpool and a round 300 including his former teams. Even coach Arne Slot admitted he didn‘t see how his team could come back after 2-1, but Salah showed up big time and allowed his team to keep an eight point difference between them and champions Manchester City.“We always know we can trust him if things are difficult for us because after we went 2-1 down, I didn’t really feel that was the moment we could score. It was a fantastic pass from Ryan Gravenberch, and the timing of the run and how Mo finished it was special. That helps you back in the game and we needed that goal to play the last 25 minutes we played because, for me, it was then a matter of time before we scored the third goal“ said the Dutchman. Another former Liverpool player is now advocating for Salah‘s renewal. Jamie Caragher simply said “Salah’s fired the bow, now give him his dough” after the game at Southampton. Now it‘s up to Hughes to try to keep his best player with just over a month away from his legal right to talk to other clubs, including the rich Sauides.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 12SaturdayLeicester City – Cheslea 1-2 (0-1)/Ayew 90+4 pen – Jackson 15, Fernandez 75/Arsenal – Nott.Forest 3-0 (1-0)/Saka 15, Partey 52, Nwaneri 86/Aston Villa – Crystal Palace 2-2 (1-2)/Watkins 36, Barkley 77 – Sarr 4, Devenny 45+1/Bournemouth – Brighton 1-2 (0-1)/Brooks 90+3 – Joao Pedro 4, Mitoma 49/Everton – Brentford 0-0Fulham – Wolverhampton 1-4 (1-1)/Iwobi 20 – Cunha 31, 87, Gomes 53, Guedes 90+5/Man.City – Tottenham 0-4 (0-2)/Maddison 13, 20, Porro 53, Johnson 90+3/SundaySouthampton – Liverpool 2-3 (1-1)/Armstrong 42, Fernandes 56 – Salah 65, 83(p), Szoboszlai 30/Ipswich – Man.Utd. 1-1(1-1)/Hutchinson 43 – Rashford 2/Monday22:00: (1.52) Newcastle (4.20) West Ham (6.25)***odds are subject to change***
