Liverpool are optimistic about securing a contract extension for star forward Mohamed Salah, despite a current deadlock in negotiations, according to reports from Ben Jacobs.
Discussions between the club and the Egyptian’s representatives have been underway, with multiple proposals exchanged, but an agreement has yet to be reached.
Salah has expressed a strong desire to remain with Liverpool, and the club remains hopeful that an extension will be completed in the coming months.
The management had anticipated that these negotiations would take time, so the lack of resolution as January progresses is not considered a significant concern.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is reportedly eyeing a marquee signing following Neymar’s departure, and Salah’s name is expected to be on their radar as they prepare for the upcoming Club World Cup.
Despite the interest from abroad, Liverpool’s confidence in retaining Salah reflects the club’s commitment to building a competitive squad.
The two-time African Footballer of the Year has been instrumental for Liverpool this season across all competitions, scoring 19 goals in the Premier League from 22 games.
