Although Liverpool and Mohamed Salah are far away from signing a new contract extension, the Egyptian continues to score and create goals for the Reds.
Salah has appeared in 26 games in all competitions for Liverpool in 2024-25, scoring 20 goals and assisting 17. He has contributed to an incredible 37 goals in all competitions. Salah averaged a goal contribution every 58.11 minutes in all competitions.
Despite being 32, Salah is playing the best football of his career. While most footballers have declined or are on the decline at this age, Salah seems to be getting stronger.
Ahead of Sunday’s match against Manchester United, Salah has scored four goals in his last three Premier League games. He also added four assists in that span.
Yet, Salah’s impending exit from Anfield looms large over the club. Paris Saint-Germain have already offered Salah a lucrative contract offer, despite the Egyptian preferring to stay at Anfield for at least one more campaign.
Of the three players Liverpool are set to lose in the summer of 2025–Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold–Salah is the most important for them to keep. At least, based on his form this campaign.
While many fans are crying out for Liverpool to resign Salah and claiming Fenway Sports Group have lost the plot, there were just as many fans claiming Salah should leave the club at the end of the previous two campaigns. Yes, that is the fickleness of football supporters.
Salah is having a career campaign. It is a season that few professional footballers will ever experience.
Liverpool have played 18 matches in the Premier League and sit on top of the table at the start of 2025. Salah failed to score in just four of Liverpool’s 18 league fixtures. Meanwhile, he has scored 17 times, which leads the competition.
Salah has scored 38% of Liverpool’s goals. Having tallied just over one-third of the team’s goals, it shows just how important he is. Yet, nearly two-thirds of the team’s goals have come from elsewhere.
The only problem with those goals coming from elsewhere is that Salah set up 13 of them. He is the leading assist provider in the division. Only 15 of Liverpool’s goals have been scored or created by players not named Mohamed Salah.
The right winger has contributed to two-third of Liverpool’s goals in the league overall. A figure that puts Salah’s campaign in the running for one of the best ever in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland’s 36 goals in 2022-23 is the most ever scored in a single season. Meanwhile, Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne hold the record for the joint-most assists in a single season (20).
Salah could break both records and pick up the Premier League title in the same season. Those accolades would surely make him one of the best-ever Premier League players and potentially make him the Ballon d’Or winner.
It would also make him the most sought-after player in world football. Yet, other than Liverpool and PSG, it doesn’t seem that too many teams are battling to sign him ahead of the contract expiring.
