Darwin Nunez's makes true Mohamed Salah feelings clear as Liverpool future in doubt
Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez made his feelings clear about Mohamed Salah after an eventful day for the winger on the South Coast. The Egyptian forward scored twice for the Reds in the second half as they overturned a 2-1 deficit to beat Southampton 3-2 in the Premier League.
Victory ensured the Reds moved a whopping eight points clear of Manchester City in the table after just 12 matches. However, Liverpool fans' positivity suffered a knock when Salah was asked about his future on Merseyside while leaving St Mary's Stadium.
"Well, we are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club, [so] I'm probably more out than in," he explained. "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. As I said before, it is December and I haven't received anything yet about my future.
"I love the fans. The fans love me.
"In the end it is not in my hands or the fans' hands. Let's wait and see.
"Of course [no offer is disappointing], yeah. I'm not going to retire soon so I'm just playing, focusing on the season and I'm trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well.
"I'm disappointed but we will see. I'm very professional.
"Everybody can see my work ethic. I'm just trying to enjoy my football and I will play at the top level as long as possible.
"I'm just doing my best because this is who I am and I try to give it all for myself and for the club. We will see what happens next."
Unsurprisingly, supporters are wanting to see Salah stay especially considering his consistency. However, it is also clear what high regard his teammates hold him in too.
Nunez posted to his Instagram a picture of himself and Salah celebrating on Sunday evening after the victory over the Saints and it is clear very few in the Liverpool dressing room are as popular as the winger. As mentioned by Salah, his contract expires at the end of the season.
Should he have not signed a new contract by January, Salah would be free to negotiate with clubs overseas about a deal which would begin at the end of the season. Liverpool would not be entitled to any compensation either.
Liverpool remain in contact with Salah’s agent over a new deal and it is understood conversations have been positive with his representatives. The club had not expected the future of their best-paid player to be resolved swiftly, but do not intend to comment publicly on the progress of conversations.
