Mohamed Salah has again declared he expects to leave Liverpool at the end of the season – but he wishes to go out winning the Premier League.
The winger name-checked both Arsenal and Chelsea as title rivals and said beating them to the crown is “the most important thing” for him this season, even above Champions League glory.
Liverpool lead the Premier League table by six points with a game in hand over second place Arsenal. Chelsea’s consecutive defeats to Fulham and Ipswich Town, following a goalless draw with Everton, have seen them sink below Nottingham Forest and into fourth spot.
Salah has been the Premier League’s best player so far this campaign, spearheading Liverpool’s title charge with 17 goals and 13 assists in 18 top-flight matches. However, the Reds great says he is set to leave this summer as things stand.
Asked by Sky Sports if he really believes this is his last season at Anfield, Salah responded: “So far, yes. It’s the last six months. There is no progress there. We are far away from any progress. So, we just need to wait and see.”
Salah made it clear that he wanted to end his time at Liverpool with silverware in the cabinet and made one trophy in particular his north star. He explained: “In my interviews over the last seven or eight years, I always say [I want to win the] Champions League.
