Liverpool icon Ian Rush has issued a word of caution regarding Mohamed Salah’s potential departure, asserting “the grass is not always greener” in the wake of the forward’s contract situation at Anfield. Salah, alongside fellow stars Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, are nearing the end of their current deals, with speculation mounting over their future at the club.
Salah, who has netted 12 goals and provided 10 assists this season, stirred debate following Liverpool’s hard-fought 3-2 victory against Southampton by commenting: “We are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club. I’m probably more out than in”. Scorer of countless goals for Liverpool, Rush admits his admiration for the Egyptian, as well as Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold, amidst rumours circulating about international interest.
Premier League title since former manager Jurgen Klopp’s reign in the 2019-2020 season. The Reds are flying high at the top of the Premier League after an impressive 10 victories from their opening 12 league games.
That sees Arne Slot’s eight points clear of defending champions City, with their rivals having surprisingly lost their last three league games in a row. Earlier this week, golden oldie Rush was honoured for his footballing achievements when he was awarded the Maurice Watkins CBE Lifetime Contribution Award at the North West Football Awards in Manchester.
The award was recognition for his extraordinary impact on football, both as a player and in his post-career contributions.
Liverpool legend Ian Rush has made history with an astonishing 346 goals in 660 appearances for the Reds, becoming the first British player to clinch the European Golden Boot. Now an esteemed LFC ambassador, Rush shared his thoughts: “I enjoyed getting recognised for my achievements, winning an award like this is very special,” and added, “It’s something I’m really proud of.”
