Salah spoke out after scoring two goals in Premier League-leading Liverpool’s 3-2 comeback win over Southampton on Sunday.

“Well, we are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club,” he told reporters. “I’m probably more out than in. You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end, it is not in my hands.”

Salah’s goals saw Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the standings to eight points. The Egypt international is 32 and has been at the club since 2017.

He has scored 12 goals in 18 appearances this season.
