Mohamed Salah offered a cryptic response when asked about his Liverpool future on Thursday night.
Salah was in London to pick up the The Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award after winning the honour for the second time in his career. The first coming back in 2018.
The 29-year-old fought off competition from around England to claim the award. Salah has contributed a hugely impressive 22 goals and 13 assists in just 32 Premier League games so far this season.

The Egyptian has also played a huge role in helping Liverpool to the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League. While the former A.S. Roma forward also helped them to Carabao Cup glory back in February.
Salah has a little over a year left on the contract he signed with the Reds in June 2018 and is yet to agree a new deal at Anfield, despite having repeatedly indicated he would like to stay with the club.
And when asked about his future in England on stage after receiving his award at the Landmark Hotel on Thursday night, Salah joked: “Here on the stage or here in England? I will do my best to be on the stage!”
Asked if he was confident of remaining a Liverpool player beyond 2023, Salah recently the FourFourTwo magazine : “I don’t know, I have one year left. I think the fans know what I want, but in the contract it’s not everything about the money at all. So I don’t know, I can’t tell you exactly. I have one year left and the fans know what I want.
“This club means a lot to me – I’ve enjoyed my football here more than anywhere, I gave the club everything and everybody saw that. I’ve had a lot of unbelievable moments here, winning trophies, individual goals, individual trophies. It’s like a family here.
“I’m not worried, I don’t let myself worry about something. The season didn’t finish yet, so let’s finish it in the best possible way – that’s the most important thing. Then in the last year, we’re going to see what’s going to happen.”
Reds legend Ian Rush presented Salah with his award but the current Liverpool No.11 refused to be drawn on whether he now sees himself as an Anfield great.
He said: “I don’t know, I don’t think about it much. I just try to enjoy my football and enjoy my time at the club. Help the team to win trophies, that is the most important thing. Yeah, I don’t think about it too much.”
Salah then added on receiving the award, saying: “It feels great. First of all, I want to thank everyone who voted for me. Of course, journalists are a big part of the football family, and hopefully we can win some more this season.”
Liverpool could become the first English team to win the quadruple with Jurgen Klopp's men still in the hunt for three more trophies this season. And when asked about the team's chances, Salah claimed it is a feat that is possible to achieve.
He said: “(Is the quadruple realistic?) I think so. Not everything is in our hands - we have to win our games in the Premier League and see if (Manchester) City drop points or not.
“They have a great team, great manager, I'm sure they want to keep winning. But it's possible. First we have to finish our games in the Premier League and then we'll see.
“We have four games left, City as well have four games left in which they can drop points. We just need to focus on the Spurs game and go from there.
“We've been together for five years, we know what it takes to win. In the last game we were 2-0 down, away, and we managed to come back. That's really important for our mindset, for the next games. We have the mindset we can win any trophy.”
