Liverpool's Egyptian star Mohamed El Shaara, whose contract has expired without renewal, has recently publicly released his personal stance: to stay or go, undecided. It is reported that the crux of the negotiations between the two sides is the length of the contract, Shana insisted on seeking a 3-year or 2+1-year contract, a requirement that seems to have become an insurmountable gap in the renewal of the contract.
Shana earns a whopping £350,000 a week, and the likelihood of him taking a pay cut is slim to none. After all, a year and a half ago, the Saudi Arabia powerhouse Etihad had thrown the olive branch to him at £ 5 million per week, but Shana chose to stay in Liverpool, enjoying this "small fortune". However, the family's desire to extend his contract for another three years has put Liverpool in a dilemma.
Liverpool's Fenway Sports Group have reportedly expressed a strong desire to keep Shana and his team. They are holding off for now, given the high risk factor of a three-year deal, but both sides remain in close communication pending the final outcome.
