Mohamed Salah’s agent posts cryptic ‘I hope they’re watching’ tweet as the Liverpool star scores and notches two assists against Norwich… and fans fear its a dig at Reds owners FSG amid stalling contract talks
- Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 victory over Norwich to start the 2021-22 season
- Mohamed Salah scored with a classy 25-yard finish and assisted twice
- The Egyptian’s deal runs-out in 2023, like many of the Reds’ top stars
- Liverpool just tied-down Vigil van Dijk until 2025, but Salah has yet to be offered
- The winger’s agent posted a provocative message on Twitter after the goal
Mo Salah’s agent posted a cryptic tweet after his client put Liverpool 3-0 ahead against Norwich City on Saturday – appearing to send a message to Reds’ owners over the club’s failure to offer a new contract.
The Egyptian King began the season in top form at Carrow Road, assisting Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino before powering the Reds further ahead in the 74th minute.
Salah’s contract runs out in 2023, he’s yet to be offered an extension, and slow progress with Liverpool owners FSG appears to be frustrating Ramy Abbas Issa.
Mohamed Salah was on fire on Saturday as Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 win over Norwich
Moments after he scored the third goal, Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa sent a cryptic tweet
Prompting a host of replies from Reds fans, the Colombian agent wrote on Twitter: ‘I hope they’re watching.’
The Liverpool faithful are acutely aware of time ticking down until their hero is free to leave, with @_lfc_aatif_ writing: ‘Announce Salah contract extension or we riot.’
‘Salah is an elite player, up there with Messi,’ @loving_mushroom added. ‘He gets so p***** off with a miss. Sign that new contract baby!’
Salah has long been linked to Real Madrid and Barcelona, and hinted his frustration at his Reds contract situation back in May: ‘No one is talking to me about that, so I can’t say much about that.
The pair are close aside from their business relationship, and are working for a new deal
The Egyptian scored and assisted the other two goals in a superb start to the 2021-22 season
‘No one in the club is talking to me about anything so I do not know.’
With Barca in a tailspin and Los Blancos focused on scraping money together for a Kylian Mbappe bid, rumours linking Salah to Spain have died down.
The former Chelsea star is believed to be earning £200,000 a week with the Reds, having signed a five-year deal back in 2018 after reaching the Champions League final.
Salah’s performance on Saturday will certainly encourage the owners to reward the former Premier League player of the season.
