Salah’s Contract Drama Unravels…
Egypt’s head coach, Hossam Hassan, has declared his undying support for Mohamed Salah as Liverpool’s number one contract mystery remains unsolved. Imagine the Reds without Salah – no goals, no wins, only endless discussions about his next move. With just nine games left for Liverpool, fans might suddenly develop a keen interest in Saudi Arabian football or the Parisian nightlife. Who wouldn’t want to play for PSG and explore a new romance, or hops over to bury goals in the scorching Saudi sand? Salah is basically the football version of Carmen Sandiego – where in the world is he off to?
The striker who has been breaking every goal record possible, might become the Premier League’s most casually stylish free agent by season’s end. The headlines could have Salah in a Herculean challenge in Egypt’s World Cup qualifiers, all the while crafting career plans more intricate than a Da Vinci painting. Hassan’s there, the proud captain of the Mohamed Salah fan club, promising to cheer on our Egyptian king wherever he lays his athletic hat.
Mind you, chances of receiving shiny baubles for Egypt, like the elusive Africa Cup of Nations, still hover. Perhaps, that’s where the dedicated Salah might finally get his long overdue ‘Pharaoh’s crown’. Meanwhile, Liverpool fans are probably wondering if cardboard cutouts of Salah might be their best alternative for next season.
