While acknowledging that he’s’more out than in’ at Liverpool, Andy Robertson claims that Mohamed Salah was in a good mood during Tuesday’s training.

WHAT OCCURRED?

Even though Arne Slot rejected Salah’s contract surprise, it helped demonstrate how far apart the two parties are in contract negotiations. After scoring two goals in Liverpool’s victory over Southampton, Salah stated, “I haven’t received any offers to stay in the club yet.” “I’m probably more out than in.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Although the 32-year-old has drawn criticism for his remarks—Manchester City legend Jamie Carragher has called him “selfish”—Salah and the dressing room don’t seem to have been affected. Robertson claimed that Salah was “one of the happiest people” at the team’s training facility on Tuesday during a news conference held prior to the Champions League matchup with Real Madrid.

WHAT ROBERTSON SAID

“I didn’t think he seemed depressed! Mo always has a smile on his face when he arrives at training, and he works just as hard in the gym and on the training field,” Robertson remarked.

“In that regard, he is undoubtedly among the happiest individuals on the training field. He relishes every second spent there. That’s obvious. It’s fair enough if you can locate a photo of him looking depressed from today’s workout! However, he always appears content. He is a very concentrated person, and he will likely be in his home right now, thinking about tomorrow night. That’s what matters most. All of the world’s top players and good players do that, and Mo most definitely fits that description.

WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?

The Reds will try to make it five wins from five in Europe when they host reigning champions Real Madrid on Wednesday in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.
