Luis Garcia has shared his 'difficult' advice for Liverpool regarding Mohamed Salah's contract situation.

Liverpool face a difficult decision about the future of their Egyptian superstar. Salah has begun the season in brilliant form and has set the Premier League alight yet again.

However, he is now in the final year of his Liverpool contract and at 32-years-old he is at an age where players traditionally enter the twilight of their careers.

Salah is no ordinary player, though. He's proven time and time again what an extraordinary player he is, including at Old Trafford last Sunday.

And his extraordinary capabilities might be enough to force Liverpool to pivot from their previous reluctance to hand out contract to players of similar age to Salah.

Luis Garcia's advice for Liverpool and Mohamed Salah

Salah shared after Liverpool's victory over Manchester United that he's yet to discuss a new contract with the club.

This has fuelled a lot of speculation, with plenty of former and current Liverpool players being asked about the Egyptian's situation.

The latest was Liverpool's Champions League winning hero, Luis Garcia.

Garcia was speaking on ESPN FC and explained why he thinks Liverpool should look to extend Salah's contract even though he admitted it's a 'difficult' decision for the club.

“He is a player who in the last, I cannot even remember the year they started, he scores 25 plus goals every single season, and that’s very, very difficult to find all around.

“I am not saying in England, but in Spain, in Europe, anywhere. These days where strikers are missing, you cannot find these kinds of players.

“I think that Liverpool should think about how to keep Mo Salah for more years,” Garcia added. “Even though he is arriving to that age where you have to be careful.”

Garcia has got it spot on here. Liverpool won't be able to find an adequate replacement for Salah. There are simply very few players in word football who can replicate what he does.

That is why offering Salah a new contract is a necessity for Liverpool. They simply cannot afford to let him go anywhere else.
