Former Liverpool director of research Ian Graham highlighted the complexities surrounding Mohamed Salah's contract situation at the FT Business of Football Summit, stating that, despite Salah's stellar performance this season, there's uncertainty regarding a renewal. Graham noted that players in their 30s can still perform at high levels but may see reduced minutes instead of quality decline. He expressed relief that he is not currently responsible for negotiating another contract with Salah, emphasizing the challenges that such decisions entail.
I helped with the work for the last contract extension which sees him through to this summer and, at the time, I thought for players of his age that I would recommend not to sign a contract.
When those players drop off it tends to be a drop in minutes rather than quality. It tends to be a drop in minutes rather than performance.
