Arne Slot has admitted that he is not worried about Mohamed Salah's contract status at Liverpool. He believes that the forward has not let it affect him, and his goals have proved that he is capable of doing well.

Speaking to the media ahead of the Fulham clash, Slot stated that he is working with quality players and said they are working for the team without worrying about their contracts.

He said:

"It doesn't worry me, we just accept the situation as it is. They play at a very good club and do very well at the moment. I work with a lot of quality players over here and Mo is definitely one of them. He is one that should score goals. He is also part of the reason we keep as many clean sheets as we do. We're going to face Fulham now. We should have a much better performance against them to get a result. You can only take points from these games if you have quality yourself. Against Arsenal, they only conceded from a set-piece."

Liverpool have the contract of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk this season. All three are in the final months of their deals and will be free agents at the end of the season.


What did Mohamed Salah say about his Liverpool contract status?

Mohamed Salah spoke about his contract status last month and admitted that he was disappointed at the club. He claimed that Liverpool had not offered him a new deal and that suggested that he was set to leave the club in the summer.

He said:

“Well, we are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club. I’m probably more out than in. 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.”

Reports suggest Salah wants a three-year contract at the club but the Reds are willing to offer just a one-year deal as he is in his 30s.
