Salah admits 'I don't know' about Liverpool future: It'll be sad when I leave

Mohamed Salah has again cast serious doubt on his future at Liverpool.

Salah's future remains unclear with the impasse over a new contract still to be resolved after months of negotiations.

Speaking to FourFourTwo, the 29-year-old revealed remaining at Anfield was far from a foregone conclusion but insisted money would not be a motivating factor should he decide to leave.

"I don't know, I have one year left," he said.

"I think the fans know what I want, but in the contract it's not everything about the money at all. So I don't know, I can't tell you exactly. I have one year left and the fans know what I want."

Regardless of the timing of his departure from Liverpool, the two-time African Player of the Year admitted leaving Anfield will not be easy.

"To play in that atmosphere and to see the fans always behind me […] I have banners in the stadium [...] and they're always singing my song," he added.

"It's going to be a really sad moment."

Asked whether speculations over his future may be a source of distraction at such a delicate stage of the season, the current Premier League top scorer replied: "I'm not worried, I don't let myself worry about something. The season didn't finish yet, so let's finish it in the best possible way – that's the most important thing. Then in the last year, we're going to see what's going to happen."
