Liverpool Must Act Fast: Mo Salah’s Resurgence is Impossible to Ignore

This isn’t over Van Dijk or Alexander-Arnold before anyone starts that game. Mo Salah, the iconic Liverpool forward, has been the subject of relentless speculation. Last season’s dip in form had critics whispering about his decline, with many pondering if the time had come to sell while the price was still high.

After all, his last eleven games saw only three goals, missed chances, and a hint of weariness. But if there’s one thing everyone should know, it’s that the story of Mo Salah isn’t finished yet—far from it.

Signs of a Resurgence: Pre-Season and Opening Day Success

With a new season underway, all eyes are back on the Egyptian King. Already, the evidence is stacking up in Salah’s favor. In the opening match, he bagged both a goal and an assist, delivering a man-of-the-match performance that was a clear statement of intent. But it’s not just the numbers.

Against Ipswich, Salah clocked a remarkable 31 sprints, constantly tormenting defenders. It was a reminder to all doubters that the magic hasn’t faded—if anything, it looks like being rekindled.

Interestingly, Salah dominated the pre-season fitness tests at Liverpool, outperforming even the youngest players in the squad. The 32-year-old may be a veteran, but his body is as finely tuned as ever. It’s hard to ignore when the likes of Scotland captain Andy Robertson state: “Everyone knows Mo looks after his body exceptionally well and does everything right.”

The Science Behind the Success: What’s on Salah’s Menu?

Much has been made of Salah’s attention to detail off the pitch, and it’s hard to overlook the impact it has on his performances. A deep dive into his daily routine reveals some fascinating insights shared by Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail.

According to Steele, Salah’s dietary discipline is exceptional: “He eats broccoli with almost every meal and other ‘superfoods’ are often on the menu. He is particularly fond of the Egyptian national dish koshary, a mixture of fried rice, pasta, pulses, onions and a tomato sauce.”

Steele also references that Salah’s devotion extends beyond his meals. His home is a fortress of physical conditioning, fitted with cryotherapy facilities and a hyperbaric chamber. For those unfamiliar, cryotherapy uses ice-cold machines to reduce swelling by constricting blood vessels.

Meanwhile, the hyperbaric chamber helps distribute oxygen more efficiently throughout the body. These investments highlight a player still very much in his prime, determined to maximize every ounce of potential.

Liverpool’s Dilemma: Break the Rules to Keep the King?

For Liverpool, the clock is ticking. Michael Edwards, the mastermind behind Liverpool’s recruitment strategy, is known for sticking to a strict rule which Richard Hughes will be enforcing: players over 30 rarely get long-term contracts. But certain exceptions must be considered, especially when the player in question is still outperforming the squad. Long term could even be a couple of years extension to take him over 34.

Salah’s continued dominance leaves Liverpool with a difficult decision. Do they gamble and risk losing one of their greatest-ever players in determination to stick to their rules? Or do they get around the table and extend the deal before it’s too late? If anything, Salah has proven that age is just a number. His physical performance and relentless hunger to stay at the top are more aligned with a player in his late 20s than one in his 30s.

The Verdict: Time to Act

To hesitate now would be a mistake. As Salah’s camp believes, he shows no signs of slowing down—in fact, he’s looking reenergised. Whether it’s his physical regimen, diet, or sheer will to compete, Salah is a model professional. Liverpool’s decision-makers must acknowledge that players of his caliber don’t come around often.

If they’re smart, they’ll ensure that Salah’s legacy at Anfield is far from over. For Liverpool, this is a moment to rewrite the rulebook. If the main man is playing like this, it’s obvious he’ll continue to be a game-changer. The last thing they should do is let him slip through their fingers when there’s still so much more to achieve together. Slot confirmed he believes he’s many years left. Just to hear we’re talking would be the fillip everyone seeks.
