If Mohamed Salah felt at all distracted by transfer speculation regarding his future, having seen Liverpool reject an £150m Al-Ittihad bid, against Aston Villa he certainly didn’t show it. It was business as usual for the Egyptian against the Villans as he helped fire Jurgen Klopp’s side to a routine 3-0 win. If not, Salah’s Reds contract, signed last summer that made him the best-paid player in the club’s history, expires in 2025. But regardless of what happens before September 7, it is clear that Salah’s Liverpool career is closer to its finish than start. The message was clear as the Kop repeatedly serenaded Salah during the Reds’ victory over Aston Villa in an attempt to delay the inevitable.
