Unsurprisingly, Arne Slot’s side are desperate to keep Salah and Co. beyond the end of this season as their three key stars have been in great form this term.

It remains to be seen whether Salah will commit his future to Liverpool and former defender Dejan Lovren reckons he’s “closer to leaving than staying”.

“Salah believes that there are things missing from the club’s side, and I hope it will be resolved soon. But the current reality is that he is closer to leaving than staying,” Lovren said.

“I came to the conclusion that the club doesn’t respect him enough, or not as much as he thinks he deserves, but that’s another side of the conversation, it’s all about what’s going on behind the scenes.

“He loves Liverpool, by the way he loves Liverpool a lot, and he wants to stay, and that’s the most important part, maybe he sees himself retiring there.”

A new report from journalist Ben Jacobs for GiveMeSport claims Liverpool will ‘allow Salah to leave early without cost’ amid interest from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, who have made an ‘approach’.

‘Liverpool will allow Salah to leave his current deal early if he doesn’t extend, and without cost to Hilal, if he chooses to exit Anfield for Saudi.

‘Salah has the chance to earn over £160m-per-season, a similar package Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also in talks to extend to Al-Nassr. But no new contract will be officially offered unless given encouragement by Salah.

‘Right now, Saudi dealmakers are simply doing their due diligence, knowing clarity on Salah’s future is expected relatively soon. Liverpool and Salah are yet to find common ground on a contract length or wage, but talks are nonetheless described as positive by sources within the club.

‘Hilal believe Salah will only join them if he leaves Liverpool, making it a straight choice between the two clubs, although several European suitors are also alert to his situation. PSG have consistently denied holding talks with Salah, although their president Nasser Al-Khelaifi does enjoy a close friendship with him.’
