Salah Reportedly Nearing Liverpool Contract Extension Agreement

Salah is reportedly closer to extending his contract with the Reds, with growing optimism at the club that the Egyptian will stay at Anfield.

The breakthrough in contract talks with club captain Virgil van Dijk has given Liverpool renewed confidence that an agreement with Mohamed Salah is also within reach. Both players, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, are currently in the final year of their contracts.

Despite a halt in negotiations over salary and contract length, Liverpool have remained hopeful that Salah, 32, would continue his remarkable eight-year journey with the club. That belief now appears well-founded, as sources close to the club suggest that an agreement is near .

Salah has been in outstanding form this season under new head coach Arne Slot, contributing 32 goals and 22 assists across all competitions, directly involved in 54 goals in total. The Egyptian has long expressed his desire to remain at the club, where he's already cemented his status as one of Liverpool's all-time greats.

While Salah has previously voiced some frustration with the slow pace of negotiations, the report indicates that the two sides are now close to finalizing terms. Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has been leading talks with Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas Issa.

Van Dijk, 33, confirmed after Liverpool's 3-2 loss to Fulham last weekend that "progress" had been made in his own contract discussions. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold's future remains uncertain, with reports linking the right-back to a possible move to Real Madrid.

As Slot begins shaping his plans for next season, Salah is considered to be a central figure in the Dutchman's plans. The club is eager to tie him down amid ongoing interest from Saudi Pro League clubs.

With his current form making him a leading contender for Premier League Player of the Year, a contract extension would be a major boost for Liverpool.
