Mohamed Salah has admitted he wants to win another Premier League title before he departs Anfield.
Salah has put plenty of public pressure on Liverpool to extend his contract, openly admitting he feels as though this is his last season at Anfield after entering the final six months of his deal, with talks over an extension ongoing.
A summer departure from Liverpool remains a concrete possibility for Salah, who is of significant interest to the Saudi Pro League, but the Egyptian wants to add another league title to his trophy cabinet before seeing the spine of the team - Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez, Alisson and himself - break up.
"My motivation this year was really to win a trophy and be a big part of winning that trophy, especially the Premier League," Salah told Liverpool's matchday programme ahead of Saturday's meeting with Ipswich Town.
"I still believe that the team needs another trophy because almost half of the team that had been here when we won it has left. There is still me, Virgil, Trent, Ali, Joe and Robbo, so it’s five or six players left. So I think it's necessary to win another trophy before we all go.
"I think we need another one. We won almost everything but we won [the Premier League] only once so hopefully we can win it twice. It would be great."

Salah also took the opportunity to comment on his fantastic achievement of managing to score at least 20 goals in each of his eight seasons at the club.
"That is something incredible, something I am very proud of. I worked very hard for that," he continued. "And being also a winger and scoring goals that make a difference in the game is quite hard and people will maybe appreciate it more when they see that in the future.
"It's quite hard and tricky because sometimes when you do things every day and every year, people just think that it's not hard. When you do it for six, seven, eight years, people just say it's normal to do it, but actually it's not easy.
"It's not easy at all because it's very tricky to find a winger to score like 20 or 30 goals, for eight years in a row. But again, something I’m proud of."
