MOHAMED SALAH has piled the pressure on Liverpool to offer him a new deal, saying he is “more out than in”.
The Reds great, 32, revealed he is yet to be offered a new contract, with his current deal up in the summer.
Salah scored a brace at Southampton on Sunday to send Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the table before revealing his disappointment at not being offered a deal.
He said: “Well, we are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club. I’m probably more out than in.
“I’m not going to retire soon so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well.
“I’m disappointed but we will see.”

“You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this.
“But in the end, it is not in my hands.
“It is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future.”
