Ramy Abbas Issa, broadly known as Mo Salah’s agent, attracted the wandering eyes of many a Liverpool fan online with his interaction with renowned transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
The Colombian appeared to hint at the stagnant nature of contract talks between his client and the Reds with his tweet, ‘A little bored these days’.
The always busy @FabrizioRomano! Happy new year! How’s it going?

It’s, of course, possible that the agent’s comments could be less suggestive that one might typically imagine, though his track record on social media would certainly imply otherwise.
Given how well perceived Salah is deemed to be in the football world, thanks in no small part to his current superb form for Jurgen Klopp’s men, there will be no concerns over his future should we decide against opening the chequebook to extend his Anfield stay.
Such a move, however, would likely attract a furor from fans questioning the owners’ ambition – a question that supporters could hardly be blamed for asking if the club wasn’t prepared to hold onto a prize asset already in its possession, not to mention highly willing to remain as such.
The way things are with LFC, there will be no movement from them, whereas money is concerned. If that is the issue, the talks are going nowhere. Some say, it’s hard to see FSG (LFC) allow this to happen, however, they won’t be held to ransome (in their view) I they lose Salah for nothing come June 23, we will see how their position looks with the LFC faithful.
