Mohamed Salah, the 32-year-old Egyptian striker whose contract with Liverpool expires next June, has been rumoured to be in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. At the beginning of the week, there was even talk of discussions taking place, before denials were issued. The rumours came to an end on Friday, with the English club announcing his extension.
There may be a slight disappointment, as some people may have believed in the arrival of this great player. Even if he didn’t really fit in with the current project, full of youth and players who have their own history to write.
But there’s no real surprise. When a player from a major club reaches the end of his contract and there are rumours about PSG, it often ends like this. Paris may have helped Salah’s entourage in the negotiations, or the media may simply have taken advantage of the situation.
In any case, the striker is finally continuing at Liverpool, where he naturally has very important ties. As far as soccer stories go, this may even be the best way out. As far as PSG are concerned, there’s nothing to worry about.
