Mohamed Salah says he is "disappointed" not to have received a new contract offer from Liverpool and feels "more out than in" at the club as his current deal winds down.
Salah scored twice on Sunday as Liverpool beat Southampton 3-2 to move eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The 32-year-old has looked invaluable for the club this season, with 12 goals and 10 assists in 18 appearances in all competitions.
But his future is in the balance, with his contract set to expire next summer.
"We are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club," the 32-year-old said following the win at Southampton.
"I’m probably more out than in. You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this.
"But in the end, it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven’t received anything yet about my future."
Asked if he was disappointed not to have received any offers from Liverpool, Salah said: "Of course, yeah. I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end, it is not in my hands or the fans’ hands. Let’s wait and see.

"I’m not going to retire soon so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and I’m trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I'm disappointed but we will see."
Salah has scored 223 goals in 367 games for Liverpool since joining from Roma in 2017.
His sparkling form has helped Liverpool make a brilliant start to the 2024/25 season under new head coach Arne Slot.
But his future, along with that of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold who are both also out of contract next summer, remains a big talking point.
"I’m very professional. Everybody can see my work ethic," he said.

"I’m just trying to enjoy my football and I will play at the top level as long as possible. I’m just doing my best because this is who I am and I try to give it all for myself and for the club. We will see what happens next."
Salah has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.
But he would not be drawn on that, saying: "I don’t want to speak about that. I am focused with the team now."
Salah’s comments come ahead of a huge week for Liverpool that sees them face Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, live on TNT Sports and discovery+, and then Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
