Steven Gerrard has given his honest take on the ongoing Mohamed Salah situation at Liverpool, backing the club to resolve the contract saga in a way that keeps the Egyptian star at Anfield. Speaking on the future of Salah, whose current deal expires in 2025, Gerrard emphasized how vital Salah remains to Liverpool’s present and future ambitions.

Gerrard praised Salah not just for his goals and assists, but for his professionalism, leadership, and consistency over the years. He highlighted that Salah has repeatedly proven he can perform at the highest level, even as he enters his mid-30s, and stressed that his influence extends beyond statistics to the dressing room and younger players.

While acknowledging that contract negotiations can be complex, Gerrard expressed confidence in Liverpool’s leadership, including manager Jürgen Klopp and the club’s ownership, to handle the situation wisely. He believes the club understands Salah’s importance and will do everything possible to keep him, either through a new deal or by ensuring a smooth transition if he eventually departs.

Gerrard also addressed speculation linking Salah with a return to the Middle East or a move to another European giant, suggesting that Salah’s heart remains with Liverpool. He noted that Salah has often spoken emotionally about the club and its fans, which indicates a strong desire to stay if the right terms can be agreed.

Ultimately, Gerrard’s verdict is that Salah deserves a fitting farewell to his Liverpool career, whether that means one more big contract or a carefully managed exit. He urged fans to remain patient and supportive, trusting that both Salah and the club will act in the best interests of everyone involved.
