Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo has publicly urged the club's management to expedite the contract renewal of teammate Mohamed Salah, whose current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2025.

Gakpo highlighted Salah's exceptional performance this season, noting his 18 goals in 24 matches across all competitions. He stated, 'Everyone can see how special Salah is. The number of goals and assists he's provided is unbelievable. Beyond the stats, his style of play is truly enjoyable. He puts attacking players and even midfielders like me in incredible scoring positions.'
