Mohamed Salah has said he is hopeful that Liverpool can lift the Premier League title this season, saying this campagin “feels different.”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot is in his first season in charge at Anfield, although he could equal the feat of Jürgen Klopp by delivering a league title to the club after moving seven points clear with a 3-1 win over Leicester City on Thursday.
Salah, who has repeatedly said he could leave at the end of the season amid the final year of his contact, called for his Liverpool teammates to keep pushing for the title.
“The most important thing is the team winning — hopefully we win the Premier League,” he told Amazon Prime. “It is great, but we focus on each game and hopefully we carry on like that.
“[This year] it feels different, but the most important thing is we need to stay humble. This one is very special, hopefully we win the Premier League and for this club it is something I dream of.”
Salah netted the third goal against Leicester, his 100th home goal since joining the club in 2017.
Liverpool were denied the title on several occassions by Pep Guardiola’s imperious Manchester City sides in recent seasons. However, City have been way off their best this term, with Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Arsenal their biggest rivals for the title at present.
Regarding his future at Liverpool, the Egypt forward sidestepped a question asking for any update to his contract situation. As it stands, he will be free from Jan. 1 to talk to other clubs about a free transfer in the summer.
