Owen sees Salah’s contract not progressing wintime999

wintime999 Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen believes the reason why Mohamed Salah’s contract is still pending is because of a disagreement over the length of his contract. wintime999

    Salah, 32, has been in fine form this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 19 appearances, but there has been some uncertainty over the future of his new contract, with the player previously saying that no offers have come his way, leading to criticism from fans and the club.

    Speaking to Optus Sport, Owen said: “I’m just guessing, I could be wrong, but I’ve heard that Mo Salah wants a long-term deal. When you’re young you want a short-term deal, it makes you attractive and makes everyone want you. When you’re older you want stability, of course.”

    “He’s very different. He’s fit and still doing well, but if he went in and asked for a five-year deal, the club would think it was too long. Maybe they haven’t even spoken because Mo said, ‘I won’t negotiate if I don’t get a five-year deal.’

    “I don’t know all the details, but my sources say it’s more about the length of the contract. One thing Mo Salah has done first is give an interview and immediately the fans will think, ‘What are you doing, Liverpool Football Club?’ ( wintime999 )
