The importance of Liverpool's Mohamed Sana, the soul of the team, needs no elaboration. His contract is due to come to an end next summer, and according to sources, he is keen to sign a new three-year deal with Liverpool. By that time, Sana will be 35 years old, which is a gamble full of uncertainties for Liverpool.
Despite the Saudi League's olive branch attempts to recruit Shana for his influence in the Arab region, Shana has always seen Liverpool as his first choice. In the recent "Double Red Club" win over Manchester United, he seemed to have an inkling that this could be his farewell match at Anfield, as the two sides have yet to agree on a contract extension.
Liverpool are currently leading the Premier League, and this is due to Sana's outstanding performance. This season, Sana has delivered 7 goals and 6 assists, with the 2-1 victory over Liverpool thanks to his key assists.
However, Sana is in his late thirties and his £350,000-a-week salary raises concerns over his future form. The risk of a three-year contract extension should not be underestimated, and the ability to maintain his competitive form will be key to his ability to continue to shine at Liverpool.
