When silence lingers too long, even the faintest whisper can seem like a shout. This is especially true for Mohamed Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa. The lack of updates around Salah’s potential new contract with Liverpool has left a gap that has been filled with speculation, occasional hints from Salah himself, and a noticeable silence from Abbas—until recently.

On Monday morning, Abbas broke this silence for the first time in two months by posting on social media about Salah. In response to a Premier League post noting that no player has had more goal involvements in the league this season, Abbas praised Salah, calling him the “Best player in the world.”

While it’s expected that an agent would hold such a high opinion of their client, this statement was likely more than just a compliment. Though social media remarks don’t drive contract negotiations, the timing of Abbas’s post is noteworthy, especially given recent reports in the Egyptian media regarding Salah’s future. According to these reports, Salah is seeking a two-year contract extension and plans to intensify negotiations over the next two weeks, as he has a break from international duty, with Egypt already qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations.

With less than two months before Salah can begin talking to foreign clubs, Liverpool is under pressure to resolve his contract situation to avoid losing him for free next summer. The club, under the guidance of sporting director Richard Hughes, faces a tight timeline to ensure that Salah, one of their most impactful players, remains with the team.

Salah, however, isn’t the only Liverpool star nearing the end of his contract. Both Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also in the final year of their deals. Liverpool is actively working to address these situations, with discussions already underway with van Dijk, who has expressed his desire to stay at Anfield.

Earlier this season, Strike90mins reported that Salah, too, would prefer to remain with Liverpool, despite the recent change in management as Jurgen Klopp was replaced by Arne Slot over the summer. Salah’s dedication to the club has been evident; only van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch have clocked more minutes on the field this season. Salah’s contributions, including his goal and assist in Liverpool’s recent 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, have solidified his status as the first player in Europe’s top leagues this season to reach double figures in both goals and assists.

The clock is ticking for Liverpool to secure the futures of their key players, with Salah leading the pack as a priority.
