Mohamed Salah’s agent has sent a four-word message to Liverpool manager Arne Slot amid the Egyptian’s ongoing contract uncertainty.
The 32-year-old is one of three Liverpool stars with contracts set to expire at the end of the season.
Salah has made a few public statements about his situation this term, most notably revealing his disappointment at not receiving a contract offer from the club in December. He has also made statements insisting that this will be his final season at Anfield.
However, Liverpool fans will be buoyed by the recent comments of Salah’s agent and close confidant Ramy Abbas, who has delivered a ringing endorsement of Reds boss Arne Slot.
Replying to a post on X, which included a picture of the Dutchman behind the Premier League table showing the Reds seven points clear at the top, Abbas wrote: ‘Excellent at his job.’
It is quite the backing from Abbas, who is known to be a shrewd operator and will no doubt be intimately familiar with the state of Salah’s contract negotiations.

In fact, Abbas rarely speaks on footballing matters that do not directly involve his client on social media.
His comments come after Salah’s latest decisive contribution to a Liverpool result. The forward notched his 14th assist of the league campaign and 22nd goal in an ill-tempered Merseyside Derby on Wednesday night.
Unfortunately for the leaders, their hopes of going nine points clear of second-placed Arsenal were dashed with James Tarkowski’s stunning 98th-minute equaliser.
However, Slot’s men will likely still be content with their sizeable gap over the injury-ravaged Gunners with 14 matches to play.
Slot could be in the dugout for Liverpool’s next Premier League match against Wolves on Sunday, despite receiving one of the four red cards that were dished out by Michael Oliver after the final whistle at Goodison Park.
Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff have been charged by the FA for their conduct after Wednesday’s game but have until next Wednesday to respond.
