Mohamed Salah looks set to run down the final year of his contract at Anfield.

Liverpool fans have turned on the club's board after Mohamed Salah reiterated this year will be his 'last' at the club.

The Egyptian forward, speaking to Sky Sports, confirmed he expects this to be his final campaign with the Merseyside club.


The announcement comes as Liverpool sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand.

Salah's latest declaration follows several similar statements throughout this season, with the striker now explicitly stating there has been no movement on a new deal.

In discussing his potential farewell, Salah expressed his desire to secure the Premier League title as a parting gift to Liverpool.

"It's probably because we didn't celebrate the one we won in the way we wanted," Salah told Sky Sports, reflecting on his motivation.

"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's comments have led to a huge backlash from Liverpool fans, who have voiced their anger at the club's board for not giving the Egyptian what he wants.

One moaned: "We are a f***ing joke @LFC what the f*** is wrong with you lot?"

Another demanded: "@LFC MAKE THE NEW CONTRACT NOW."

A third said: "I'm breaking more and more every time I come on here. Our greatest player of recent times and he's been hung out to dry like this is heart breaking."

One other complained: "FSG Edwards Hughes need to deal with this. Its not acceptable that it has gone this far."

Another posted: "@John_W_Henry what are you and the board doing fella! Sort this out! And the other 2."

This is not the first time Salah has signalled his departure, having made similar statements earlier in the season.

In September, the forward revealed that "nobody has talked to me" about his contract situation.

His latest comments came after an impressive performance in Liverpool's 5-0 victory at West Ham on Sunday.

Following that match, Salah indicated he remained "far away" from agreeing new terms with the club.

When asked directly if this would be his final season at Liverpool, Salah was unequivocal in his response.

"So far, yes. It's the last six months," he confirmed to Sky Sports.

The striker added: "There is no progress there."

Salah's stark assessment of the contract situation left little room for optimism, as he concluded: "We are far away from any progress. So, we just need to wait and see."
