The mechanics behind offering Salah a new deal are not as simple as some might think. Before the club can offer a deal, they have to calculate the length of contract and the overall cost of covering it. It appears he's fit enough to go on at a peak level for at least 2 years (that's my judgement) but
the club have to calculate not only his fitness, but his appetite, his desires, his ambition; All this will inform their valuation of him.
It's clear Mo remains a great asset, and I'm confident the club will offer him a new contract....but for how long and at what cost? Who knows?, and only Mo and his family will decide whether to take it, or leave.
He shouldn't have to go bowl in hand looking for a deal, but neither should he be highlighting his frustrations about it in public. The onus is on the club to make their valuation and make their move. The same applies to all 3 key players entering their last season.
