Alexis Mac Allister spoke about Mohamed Salah’s significance to Liverpool and his hopes for Salah’s contract renewal amid ongoing negotiations, highlighting his admiration for Salah’s work ethic and his importance to the team.
Alexis Mac Allister said “He is an example of work and dedication, always looking to give the best of himself. He is a very hard-working person who gives everything to play football. On the pitch, you can see: Salah has that personality of always going for more, and when you have him by your side, you know that he is a player who will give you assists or score goals. Hopefully he can continue like this, because he is one of the most important players for our team. Hopefully he can continue next year at Liverpool. He looks happy here; He is a legend of the club. It would be ideal if he could finish his career here, but these are very personal decisions and it also depends on the club doing their analysis or making a decision.”
In addressing the contract situations of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister expressed his desire for both players to continue at Liverpool while acknowledging their current negotiations.
Alexis Mac Allister said “Yes, hopefully Trent and Virgil can continue with us along with Salah. Alexander-Arnold, for example, is fundamental as he was seen against Manchester City when he returned from injury. Its quality is enormous. I have always said that he was criticized for his defensive role, but I have no doubt that both in defence and in attack he is a differential player. In addition, he is strong and fast which allows him to find that balance between attack and defence. Like Salah, he is in negotiations and hopefully he can continue in the team.”
