Fabrizio Romano drops big Mo Salah update, it's great news for Liverpool - opinion

Liverpool star forward Mohamed Salah has no plans to move to La Liga and wants to stay in the Premier League, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Egyptian forward has been in a contract stalemate with the Reds for the past few months, and with his contract up next year there has been a lot of speculation about where he could move to.

It has been reported in the past that Salah favours a move to Spain, in particular Barcelona, but an update yesterday from Romano seemed to shut down that prospect.

He also suggests that the player has no plans to leave the Premier League, if that’s the case then he may eventually sign a new deal at Liverpool or could he move to one of their rivals?

In full, Romano said: “The situation hasn’t changed. Mo Salah doesn’t consider La Liga move a priority – he’s not planning to leave the Premier League.”

Surely the 29-year old wouldn’t move to another English club, he’s had so much success at Liverpool and a move to a rival would tarnish his reputation with the fans greatly.

According to reports, the Premier League’s leading goal scorer rejected a £400k per-week contract offer in the hope of being paid something closer to half a million a week.

However, he is said to have compromised and talks are still ongoing between the club and the players’ representatives.

The marksman is one of the best strikers around and ranks in the top 1% for expected goals and assists amongst all players in Europe’s top five leagues.

He is also on track to pick up his third Premier League golden boot this season and is a key part in Liverpool’s push for the title.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has urged the hierarchy at Anfield to sort the situation out saying he “doesn’t think they’ll be forgiven”
