Liverpool approaches the acceptance of a new contract with the striker Mohamed Salah.
The talks between all the parties are underway and a final agreement has not yet been concluded, but sources have indicated that the club had made positive progress in their efforts and hope that an agreement will be concluded.
Salah’s agreement expires at the end of the season and there has been a certain uncertainty about its future, clubs in Saudi Arabia wishing to win the Egyptian international.
But recent progress has aroused hope in Anfield that Salah will extend his stay at the Premier League club.
Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival in the summer of 2017 and was at the heart of the team’s title charge this season, scoring 32 goals in all competitions.
Earlier this week, Captain Virgil Van Dijk – whose agreement also expires in summer – has provided a positive update on his own contract discussions.
“There is progress, yes,” said the defender.
“These are internal discussions and we will see. I love the club, I like fans and they were there for us (in Fulham).”
There is less certainty about the future of Trent Alexander-Arnold, however, with the right back of talks with Real Madrid on a free transfer move to Spain before next season.
