Summary
- Virgil van Dijk expressed his desire for Mohamed Salah to remain at Liverpool.
- Salah scored and assisted in Liverpool's 3-0 FA Cup victory.
- Salah's contract expires in 2027, with Saudi clubs showing interest.
Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool's captain, has publicly stated his desire for Mohamed Salah to remain with the club. This comes after Salah's standout performance, including a goal and an assist, in Liverpool's decisive 3-0 FA Cup victory over Brighton, securing their place in the fifth round. Salah's recent form has been exceptional since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations in January, contributing significantly to every match he has played.
Despite a challenging period earlier in the season where Salah expressed feeling "thrown under the bus" by the club, his commitment and impact are undeniable. His current contract is set to expire in 2027, leading to speculation about a potential move, with Saudi Pro League clubs, who previously attempted to sign him in 2023, reportedly still keen on his signature.
Van Dijk emphasized Salah's enduring importance to the team, noting his record-breaking achievements, such as equalling Steven Gerrard's record for Premier League assists for Liverpool. The captain highlighted that Salah's presence elevates the team, providing more than just goals and consistently setting an exceptionally high standard.
