Mohamed Salah drops Liverpool transfer bombshell amid Arsenal Premier League title race

Mohamed Salah has dropped a contract bombshell with the Liverpool star insisting no progress has been made over a new deal for him at Anfield, and he is currently "more out than in".

The 32-year-old is currently out of contract at the end of the season, but has been in stunning form so far for the Reds this year. Salah added a double at Southampton to help Liverpool come back from a 2-1 deficit at the Premier League's bottom club.

That leaves him on 10 goals for the season from 12 games, trailing only Erling Haaland in the scoring charts. And the win leaves Liverpool top of the league, eight points clear of Manchester City and nine clear of Arsenal.

However, the Egyptian star has dropped a bombshell that he has not yet received an offer from the Reds over a new deal, and admits that he is currently "more out than in" as we approach January, when he will be able to negotiate with foreign clubs over a free transfer in the summer.

"Well, we are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club, [so] I'm probably more out than in," Salah said, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

"You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven't received anything yet about my future.

"I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or the fans' hands. Let's wait and see. Of course [no offer is disappointing], yeah.

"I'm not going to retire soon so I'm just playing, focusing on the season and I'm trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I'm disappointed but we will see.

"I'm very professional. Everybody can see my work ethic. I'm just trying to enjoy my football and I will play at the top level as long as possible. I'm just doing my best because this is who I am and I try to give it all for myself and for the club. We will see what happens next."
