Mohamed Salah has appeared to send a direct message to Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), through a social media post that could indicate growing frustration over contract talks. Salah, along with teammates Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, is out of contract at the end of the current season, and their futures at Anfield are uncertain. On Monday, Salah posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) of himself with Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk, referencing a free-kick situation from Liverpool’s recent 2-2 draw with Manchester United. Given Salah’s recent comments about his future, the post seems to be a pointed message to FSG, emphasizing the ongoing contract disputes with three of the club’s most influential players.
Salah’s social media activity follows his remarks last week when he admitted his future at Liverpool is unclear. He told Sky Sports, “So far, yes. It’s the last six months [for me at Liverpool]. There is no progress there. We are far away from any progress. So, we just need to wait and see.” His comments have heightened pressure on FSG to address the contract situations of key players, and they have sparked concern among fans. On Sunday, a banner reading “FSG Give Mo & Co their dough” was displayed in The Kop, underlining growing frustration with the ownership.
Alexander-Arnold’s future has also been in the spotlight after reports surfaced that Real Madrid had made an offer to sign him this January for a modest transfer fee. The right-back had a difficult game against Manchester United, which raised speculation about whether the ongoing transfer rumors impacted his performance. Alexander-Arnold struggled to contain United’s Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes and was partly to blame for the opening goal. As Liverpool’s title hopes and player futures hang in the balance, fans are increasingly vocal about the need for action from the club’s owners.
