Mohamed Salah to stay?! Liverpool open contract talks with Egyptian forward and near agreement over extension

Champions League

Liverpool

Lille

<p>Liverpool are said to have moved from "absolute pessimism" to "total optimism" regarding a new contract for Salah. The Egyptian said recently he was<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-out-than-in-mohamed-salah-makes-huge-admission-liverpool-future-disappointed-reds-talisman-claims-yet-receive-offer-new-contract/blt7b7a8cab9bbdbc7f" target="_blank"> "more out than in" at Liverpool</a> and was still waiting for a contract offer. However, the situation has changed completely since then and the forward is now close to securing his future at the club, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/premier-league/2024/12/16/salah-cerca-renovar-liverpool.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a>. An official announcement could even be made before the end of 2025.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Liverpool fans will be eager for the saga to be resolved as quickly as possible, particularly because Salah will be able to negotiate with overseas clubs from January 1 as he is into the final year of his contract at Anfield. The forward has been in brilliant form again this season and has 13 goals and nine assists in just 15 Premier League matches for Arne Slot's side.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While fans await news of Salah's future, the team return to action on Wednesday against Southampton in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup and then head to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.</p>
