“One of the greatest players in the world” – Roy Keane claims Mo Salah is in charge of contract extension talks with Liverpool 

Ex-Manchester United player Roy Keane has claimed Liverpool Mohamed Salah is “one of the greatest players in the world.” He believes the Reds will have no option but to renew his contract.

During an interaction with ITV, Keane expressed that Liverpool ‘might not have a choice when it comes to offering Salah another contract at Anfield. Keane believes Liverpool might get in trouble if contract negotiations extend until next season.

Keane believes Mo Salah is in the “driver’s seat” while negotiating with manager Jurgen Klopp and the board. He said:

“He’s 29 but the modern player, they’re machines, I don’t think it:s no issue. From Pool’s point of view, it’s business they’ve got to try and negotiate. You’ve got to get him signed on. He s one of the greatest players in the world, you’ve got to get it done. If it goes into next season you really start to worry but try and get it done and dusted.”

Former Liverpool player and TV presenter Jamie Carragher also joined Keane in expressing concern over Salah’s contract extension at Anfield. He added:

“I’m sure everyone in that dressing room now will be desperate for Mo Salah to sign a new contract as well as Sadio Mane and Bobby Firmino as well. These are legends of this club and we’ll be talking about them in 20-30 years. ”

Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino’s contracts with the Reds also get over in the summer of 2023.
