Mohamed Salah plans to carry on playing until he turns 40

Mohamed Salah plans to carry on playing until he turns 40

Mohamed Salah aims to keep playing until he is 40.

The forward recently signed a new two-year contract at Liverpool but hasn't ruled out the prospect of a move to Saudi Arabia later in his career.

Speaking to the Egyptian TV channel ON Sports, Salah, 32, said: "If you ask me for my opinion, I think I can play until the age of 39 or 40, but if I felt before that I wanted to stop, I would quit. I have achieved a lot of things.

"My contract was up at Liverpool and I would have gone to Saudi but we finalised the deal with Liverpool."

He added of interest from the Saudi Pro League: "I still have a good relationship with them and I always stay in contact with them. Yes, we were talking to each other.

"I don't know what is going to happen, but I am happy here in Liverpool and I am staying here for the next two years. Then I will see what I will do next."

Salah was a pivotal figure as Liverpool won the Premier League title - winning both the Golden Boot and Playmaker award as he contributed to 47 goals across the campaign - and revealed that the fans were key to his decision to commit his immediate future to the Reds.

He said: "Of course, they are part of the pressure on the administration. It was from the public, because I have been at the club for seven or eight years and I have been performing well with them and I have given them everything for all these years.

"From the beginning, day one, I knew that they wanted me to stay, so in a certain way they had a big role."
