The 29-year-old joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017 and has since become one of the best attackers in the game.

Salah played an integral role in the Reds winning the UEFA Champions League in 2018/19 and the Premier League title in 2019/20 – their first league crown in over thirty years.

“There are things like the ambition of the team and the coach and what he wants to do with the team and the players he wants. These are all important points when making the decision,” He included
