Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher insists Egypt star Mohammed Salah has been handed a contract renewal offer.
Earlier reports suggested the former African Footballer of the Year has not been offered a new offer despite his impressive run of form this season.
But Carragher has swiftly denied, saying Salah has been offered a new offer in an attempt to keep the Egyptian star.
“Do not believe he hasn’t been offered a contract. I can actually assure you he has been offered a contract,” Carragher said on The Overlap’s Fan Debate.
He added: “Once you get over 30 I think every club looks at that, that’s the way they do it.
“But, I think it’s a little bit different now. In our time 35 you were done, but now you’re seeing players going to 37, 38, 39, 40. It’s alright having all that info and data but your eye has to see it as well.
“(Arne) Slot and his staff will see them in training every day and just look at their bodies, what are they, 32, 33? It looks to me like two years is not a problem.
“We talk about a year’s option, that option is not always in the club’s favour, it gets triggered with a certain number of appearances. I could understand people looking at me thinking a year is enough, but I’m looking at them thinking they could p*** this for another two years.”
Salah has been Liverpool’s main man this season, scoring 28 goals and providing 19 assists across competitions.
