Mo Salah did something shocking just before making contract statement at Liverpool
Mohamed Salah sent shockwaves across Merseyside this week as he shared an open and honest update on his contract situation.
Indeed, Salah was very open about the fact he hasn’t had an offer from Liverpool yet regarding a new contract.
This was a rare interview from Salah who is usuall𝔉y very reserved and shy when it comes to talkinꦍg to the media.
One of the reporters present for this interview was the Mail’s Lewis Steele, and speaking on It’s All Kicking Off, the journalist shared the story of how these quo🍒tes came about.
Steele says that Salah actively searched out journalists to speak to after the Southampton game, and Steele was shocꦏked by this as he’s been rejected by Salah in terms of asking fo🌠r an interview on hundreds of occasions.

Mohamed Salah actively sought out journalists
Steele shared what Salah did just before his bombshell intervie😼w
The journalist says th♕at Salah actually asked the journalists if he could speak to them, which is 🌞a very rare occurrence.
“So I think first of all, the context needs to be explained that in his however many years at Liverpool, coming up to a decade, Mo Salah stopped in the mix zone just twice before Sunday. He doesn’t like speaking to the press unless he has to. And there’s a running joke that goes on that we always ask him to stop, 💟‘Mo, have𝓰 you got two minutes?” Steele said.
“And he always says, ‘no, sorry,’ and carries on. The only time we’ve actually had more than that was down at West Ham last season🎶, when he said, if I speak today, that will be fire. And thos🦩e eight or ten words made more headlines than, you know, a sit down for an hour with another player would.”
But what’s interesting about this one, it wasn’t us that said, ‘Mo, have you got 🌳five minutes for a chat?’” Steele said.
“It was him that asked us if we had five𝕴 minutes for a chat🍷, basically pointed at us, me and two other reporters who covered a club every week, and walked towards us saying, can I speak to you?
“And the fact that we don’t speak to Mo Salah, it made me feel a bit nervous, whereas speaking to other players, it’s almost like you don’t think about it. And you could tell straight away he had something to get o♒ff his chest, he looked agitated, he was smirki🐻ng in that way that he sometimes does when he’s being a bit mischievous.
“There was a couple of questions about how the game went, but you could tell he wanted to rush through them and talk about the contra𓆏ct, because h🅘e had something to get off his chest.
“So after those couple of warm 🤪up questions, I asked him and then he launched into this tirade about the club and their position. And to be honest, it shocked me, because we don’t speak to Mo Salah often.”
Salah has sent other messages to Liverpool
Salah is clearly trying to send a dire🌠ct message to Liverpool here, and this isn’t the first time he’s done that this season.
Indeed, Salah has pre🧸viously made similar comments.
Salah hinted about his future after th💛e game against Manchester United in September, noting that, as things stand, this is⛎ his final season at Anfield.
Meanwhile, Salah also posted a cryptic Instagram message saying th♔at he will never forget the feeling of scoring at Anfield.
Ultimately, Salah is playing a perfect game in t🍬he media here as he tries to get what he wants from Liverpool.
The main issue with Salah’s new contract is the length of any potential deal, and, if that remains a stick♌ing point, the attacker could leave the club next summer on 🀅a free.
