Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has explained that the club’s reluctance to offer star forward Mohamed Salah a new deal stems from concerns over the possibility of the player rejecting their offer.<\/p>\n Carragher clarified that contrary to the prevailing narrative suggesting Liverpool wants Salah out, the club is keen on extending the Egyptian’s stay, and discussions have indeed taken place.<\/p>\n Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher stated that the delay in contract negotiations is primarily due to a disagreement over valuation.<\/p>\n “Of course, there have been discussions. Right now, there is clearly a significant difference in valuation. Mo Salah\u2019s age and how he values himself, whether financially or in terms of contract length, differ from what Liverpool are willing to offer,” Carragher said.<\/p>\n “The reason Liverpool haven\u2019t made a formal offer yet is that they believe Mo Salah will turn it down.”<\/p>\n Carragher\u2019s comments come after Salah publicly expressed his disappointment with the club\u2019s failure to present him with a new deal. The pundit also criticized Salah for the timing of his remarks.<\/p>\n “But I must say, I am disappointed in Mo Salah,” Carragher remarked. “Liverpool have a massive week ahead with Real Madrid and Manchester City, and those should be the focal points for the club. For Salah to choose now to speak out is disappointing.”<\/p>\n He added, “In his seven years at Liverpool, he has only stopped in the mixed zone twice to speak to the media. But he chose to stop a third time after the Southampton game, where he had just won Liverpool the match, to put this out there.”<\/p>\n Salah\u2019s comments came after scoring a brace in Liverpool\u2019s comeback victory against Southampton on Sunday, November 24, 2024. He voiced frustration, saying the delay in contract talks suggests he is likely to leave.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m probably more out than in,” Salah said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “I haven\u2019t received any proposal. We\u2019re almost in December, and I haven\u2019t received any offers yet to stay at the club\u2026I\u2019m probably more out than in.”<\/p>\n He reiterated his disappointment, stating, “Disappointed? Yes, I\u2019m disappointed. Of course, I\u2019m disappointed with the situation. I have not seen any sort of proposal from Liverpool so far.”<\/p>\n Salah has been in remarkable form this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 18 games.<\/p>\n His contract is set to expire at the end of the 2024\/2025 season, which will mark the conclusion of his seven-year tenure with the Reds.<\/p>\n Ah! \u2014 Adjor\ud83d\udd31 (@thekingadjor) November 26, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n EE\/EK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Liverpool](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/660\/66095606.295.jpg\" "\\"Liverpool")
