Fabrizio Romano celebrated Mo Salah’s latest contribution for Liverpool during their tense Premier League encounter with Arsenal.

Age-related decline, for what it’s worth, is an extremely difficult factor to account for, of course. Liverpool certainly have first-hand experience with this having witnessed once world-class holding midfielder Fabinho’s performance levels collapse with little warning.
Seeing the No.11 follow a similar trajectory in 2025 – if he’s handed a new contract – would be devastating for the club on a financial and team performance basis.
Alternatively, there is a possible eventuality where Arne Slot’s side sells their Egyptian King who then goes on to maintain these levels at another elite European…
