Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott recently shared their thoughts on their futures, offering interesting perspectives.
After Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Lille in the Champions League, both players addressed questions about what lies ahead for them.
Elliott, who has been linked with a move this summer, particularly to Newcastle, quickly dismissed any rumors about leaving. Speaking to TNT Sports, the young midfielder said: “It’s pretty clear…I’m not leaving. This is my team, this is my club! The fans should know—I even traveled to Manchester to give them the chance, but they didn’t want me!”
In contrast, Salah, whose contract expires in June and has been linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabia, offered a more cautious response. Reflecting on scoring his 50th European goal for Liverpool, he was asked whether he could reach another 50. He replied: “I’m not sure about that, but I’ll give it my best.”
He continued: “Hopefully, I won’t be the last one to hit this milestone. I wasn’t focused on the record before the game, but I’m happy and proud of it—especially because we won, which is the most important thing. Lille had a strong game plan; they were unbeaten in 21 matches and proved to be a tough opponent. Credit to them, but I’m glad we secured the win.”
Liverpool’s Continued Champions League Success
Liverpool’s victory over Lille at Anfield ensured they remained at the top of their Champions League group, marking their seventh consecutive win in the competition.
Salah put Liverpool ahead in the first half, but Lille equalized shortly after Aissa Mandi’s red card left them with 10 men. The decisive moment came when Harvey Elliott’s deflected shot found the net, securing the win for Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s thrilling 5-4 victory over Benfica means Liverpool only need one point from their final match to secure the top spot. With 21 points from seven games, no other team can surpass their total. The Reds can approach their final group-stage game against PSV knowing that a draw will guarantee them first place.
