Mo Salah has hinted he could leave Liverpool next summer, revealing he is yet to receive an offer of a new contract.

The 32-year-old scored twice against Southampton on Sunday (24 November) to help take Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

But he told reporters afterwards he was "disappointed" over an apparent lack of progress over a fresh deal, with his current contract set to expire next summer.

"Well, we are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club," Salah told reporters. "I'm probably more out than in.

"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."

Salah is one of the three key Liverpool players who will soon be heading into the last six months of their deals, with Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold also out of contract in the summer.

All three will be free to speak to overseas clubs in January if they do not sign an extension before then.

Questions over their futures are one of the few dark clouds over Anfield at present, with Sunday's win putting Arne Slot's side eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Asked if he was disappointed not to have received an offer from Liverpool, Salah added: "Of course, yeah. 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.

"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."
