Following reports that the Egypt international will be leaving the club in the summer, Luis Diaz, a star for Liverpool, has pleaded with Mohamed Salah to stay.

Consequently, what happened?

Salah has admitted this is his “last year” at Liverpool, with his current contract expiring next summer. The Egypt international has scored three goals and registered three assists in three games, and Diaz believes his exit would be hugely detrimental to Arne Slot’s side.

If Salah does depart, it’s unclear where he would wind up, but he would undoubtedly become the most desirable free agent available. However, Diaz is optimistic that he would reconsider and sign a new agreement.

THOUGH DIAZ

When questioned about Salah’s possible departure, Diaz told Telemundo, “It would be difficult for us.” Liverpool would find it challenging. It will cause us great pain. He still has a year to consider it; it’s not a simple decision. He constantly puts in the maximum effort. From the beginning, he has done it. He is a vital player, and losing him would be very difficult. We accept his decision, but I really hope he stays put.”

Next?Following the international break, Liverpool takes on Nottingham Forest. Three days later, they will play the Reds against AC Milan in a rematch of two legendary Champions League finals from 2005 and 2007.
