Mohamed Salah has admitted he approached Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday as though it might be his final encounter with the Cityzens at Anfield.
With Salah nearing the final six months of his contract, uncertainty over his future looms large. The Egyptian forward recently expressed disappointment at not being offered an extension, describing himself as “more out than in,” a comment that drew criticism from Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who labeled him “selfish.”
After scoring a crucial penalty in Sunday’s game, Salah once again stirred speculation about his future. Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “It’s very special. I don’t take it for granted. I’m enjoying every minute here; it feels like home. Scoring at Anfield and winning games is always a special feeling.”

When asked whether this could be his last clash with City at Anfield, Salah admitted: “Honestly, it’s in my head. As of now, this is the last City game I’ll play for Liverpool, so I wanted to enjoy it.
“The atmosphere was incredible, and I savored every second. Hopefully, we can win the league, and then we’ll see what happens.”
Manager Arne Slot has praised Salah for maintaining focus despite ongoing contract uncertainty. However, with Salah soon eligible to negotiate with overseas clubs for a free transfer, Liverpool fans are increasingly anxious about what the future holds for their star player.
