Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes Mo Salah can have a lasting impact, saying, “Mo Salah can do like Messi and Cristiano in terms of impact/age.” The Dutch tactician sees no drop in Salah’s performance, adding, “There is no reason to think he is dropping in terms of level. It’s not what you see in terms of his numbers and when he’s playing.” Slot also pointed to Cristiano Ronaldo as an example of longevity, stating, “Look at Cristiano Ronaldo. At his age, he’s still doing very well.”

Salah’s future is still uncertain, though Slot commented, “I don’t know what the future will bring, but Mo is in a very good place at the moment.” Liverpool faces Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League later today, with former Liverpool player Xabi Alonso returning to Anfield as Leverkusen’s manager. Salah’s current contract with Liverpool is set to expire next summer, adding pressure to the ongoing discussions about his future with the club.
