Liverpool manager Arne Slot has shared insights into Mohamed Salah’s contract renewal, praising the forward’s humility and dedication while emphasising the relief it brings to fans and the club.
Reds boss Arne Slot expressed his delight at Salah's renewal, highlighting his importance as a player and as a person within the club.
“I am happy, of course. He has shown for so many years in a row how much value he has to the club. Like all the fans and his team-mates, they are very happy he has extended for two more years," said Slot.
Confirmation that Salah is staying comes amid interest from big European clubs and lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia. “First of all, he has always been judged as a player, but I also see him as a human being. He is humble, works hard and puts so much effort in to become the player he is," said Slot, praising the player's character.
The former Feyenoord coach revealed that he was confident about the outcome of the negotiations long before they were concluded. “Relief? For the fans, I think so,” he said. “It’s no surprise to you I knew a bit better how the contract situation went. I knew longer things were heading in the right direction," added Slot.
