'No progress on a new contract‘ -Salah declares this's my last year at Liverpool

Mohamed Salah again declared he expects to leave Liverpool at the end of the season with 'no progress' made on a contract extension.

The forward also laid out his desire to win the Premier League in a fitting swansong with Arne Slot's side six points clear at the top and with a game in hand.

Speaking to Sky Sports on his wish to bow out on a high, Salah said: 'It's probably because we didn't celebrate the one we won in the way we wanted.

'And also, coming back here too, it's my last year in the club so you want to do something special for the city.'

Salah has said several times this campaign that this will be his 'last year' at Anfield, revealing in September that 'nobody has talked to me' about his deal. After starring in the 5-0 win at West Ham on Sunday, he said he was still 'far away' from fresh terms.

And, asked if he truly believes this will be his last season at the club, he added: 'So far, yes. It's the last six months. There is no progress there.

'We are far away from any progress. So, we just need to wait and see.'

The Kop's Egyptian King has just six months left on his contract with the Premier League table toppers and is now free to negotiate with clubs overseas for a pre-contractual agreement.

Salah previously suggested he was heading for the exit door at Liverpool.

And the 32-year-old has now definitively said that as it stands, this will be his last year at Liverpool.

Speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Liverpool's clash with Manchester United on Sunday, he explained how every summer he writes out a list of his aims for the season.

Last summer he wrote his goal down to win the Premier League, as opposed to the Champions League which he has previously noted.

He said: "This is the first time I would say I really want to win the Premier League [over the Champions League].

"Why? Probably because we didn't celebrate the last one we won the way we wanted and also coming back it's my last year in the club so you want to do something special for the city."

Asked to elaborate on his comment, Salah added: "Do I really believe it's my last year? So far yes.

"These last six months there is nothing, no progress. We are far away from progress but we just need to wait and see."

Salah then admitted he wants to leave behind a positive legacy at Anfield, explaining he wants to look back and be able to say he had an unbelievable last season.

The attacker's electric start to the season has seen him net 17 goals and add 13 assists in the Premier League alone.

And those 30-goal contributions are the fastest anyone has ever reached that figure in the Premier League era.

His latest contract bombshell is not likely to please fans desperate to keep the club legend.

Salah first joined the club from Roma in 2017 and has gone on to score 231 goals for the club, making him their fourth-highest all-time leading goalscorer.

Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also in a similar boat to Salah and are free to negotiate with teams elsewhere.

The latter was reported by Spanish media to have chosen to complete a free transfer to Real Madrid.

Madrid are supposedly ready to hand him a £100million contract via huge wages and a massive signing-on fee.

Liverpool have reportedly rejected a £20million offer from Los Blancos for the Englishman.

And with youngster Calvin Ramsey recalled early from a loan spell at Wigan, some fans have been led to believe Alexander-Arnold's time at the club is nearing its end.

Although The Athletic report Ramsey will be heading back out on loan instead of serving as a back-up if Alexander-Arnold leaves.
