However, Salah, whose contract is set to expire this summer and is eligible to discuss a move to foreign clubs in just two days, conveyed that a new agreement with the Reds is still “far away.”
He remarked: “No, we are quite a distance from that, and I’d prefer not to elaborate further to avoid speculations.”
“Right now, my focus is on the team.”
“The only thing that matters to me is for Liverpool to clinch the league title; I just want to play my part in that.”
“Winning a trophy has been my main goal since the start of the season.”
“I will give everything I have for the team to thrive; we are on the right track. Other teams are closing the gap, so we must stay focused, humble, and keep pushing ahead.”
Luis Diaz kicked off the scoring, after which Salah creatively assisted Cody Gakpo with a stunning turn and then scored his own goal before the break.
Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s deflected strike made it four before Salah assisted Diogo Jota’s goal in the 84th minute.

“I don’t think he continues to astonish us; we know precisely what kind of player he is and what he is capable of.”
“He consistently gives his all for the team, even when the opposition has the ball, and we can only hope he keeps up these outstanding performances.”
“I would like to emphasize that when he scores, it is always a result of a buildup to that moment.”
“Other players are instrumental in creating chances for him, and when you provide Mo with those opportunities, he is extraordinary.”
While Liverpool showcased their strength, West Ham had a difficult time posing any threat and left the pitch to jeers at the London Stadium.
Manager Julen Lopetegui expressed: “We feel truly sorry for our fans. I sincerely regret this result. They certainly deserve much more, and it has been a challenging day for us.”
“The fans’ feelings are completely valid, and we fully understand them.”
“We are striving to be more competitive; sometimes we succeed, but we need to perform better in home matches as we advance through the second half of the season.”
