Mohamed Salah posts wordless update amid Liverpool contract standoff after AC Milan win
Mohamed Salah took to Instagram following Liverpool's triumphant 3-1 victory over AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Reds made their return to the competition after an 18-month hiatus with a win against the Italian heavyweights at San Siro.
Despite hitting the crossbar twice, Salah was unable to find the back of the net. Liverpool had a sluggish start and was caught off guard when Christian Pulisic put Milan ahead in the third minute.
However, Arne Slot's team remained composed and sought an equalizer. Its persistence paid off with goals from Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk.

Ultimately, it was a relatively comfortable evening for the Reds, with Dominik Szoboszlai adding a third goal in the second half. Even though Salah didn't score, he continues to thrive at the club, having already notched up three goals and as many assists in four Premier League games.
After the match, Salah posted two action shots on Instagram without any caption. As expected, the post garnered a significant number of likes and comments.
On Wednesday, Salah once again took to social media, sharing a photo of himself at San Siro on his Instagram stories. The future of the star player remains uncertain as he enters the final year of his current contract at Anfield.
Despite his contract nearing its end, the player has remained positive about his future at the club. He previously stated: "Honestly, I had a good summer. I had a long time to stay with myself, try to think positive because as you know it's my last year at the club."
"I just want to enjoy it, I don't want to think about it but I feel free to play football, we will see next year. To be fair, I was coming to the [Manchester United] game and I said, 'it could be my last time', the club have not talked to me yet so I will play my last season and see at the end of the season."
