The Egyptian superstar has been sensational since joining Liverpool in 2017 from Roma, however, the current season stands out from the rest due to the 32-year-old’s age and the situation with his contract rumbling on in the background.

The Egypt captain’s form has surprised many this season and Alan Shearer has now admitted that he got it wrong relating to a prediction he made about the Liverpool star earlier in the campaign.

Salah has been in remarkable form this season throughout the 35 games he has featured in for Liverpool, producing 27 goals and 19 assists.

With the superstar out of contract with Liverpool at the end of the season, Shearer felt that would have an impact on the Egyptian star and that there would be a drop-off as a result.

“I said earlier in the season, didn’t I, that there would be a tiny drop-off because of his contract situation, the worry that you haven’t got the protection or the guarantee of that behind you going forward,” Shearer said.

“At the minute, there hasn’t been at all.

That tells about his mindset and how tough he is mentally.”

Salah’s contract situation has still not been corrected and at present, the 32-year-old is set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Talks continue behind the scenes at Anfield to try and come to an agreement, but Robbie Fowler has a theory around the situation that seems plausible.
