Liverpool are moving closer to agreeing a new contract with forward Mohamed Salah.<\/b><\/p>\n
Talks between all parties are ongoing and a final agreement is yet to be reached, but sources have indicated the club have made positive progress in their efforts and are hopeful a deal will be done.<\/p>\n
Salah’s deal expires at the end of the season and there has been some uncertainty over his future, with clubs in Saudi Arabia keen to land the Egypt international.<\/p>\n
But the recent progress has raised hope at Anfield that Salah will extend his stay at the Premier League club.<\/p>\n
Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival in the summer of 2017 and has been central to the team’s title charge this season, scoring 32 goals across all competitions.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, captain Virgil van Dijk – whose deal also expires in the summer – provided a positive update on his own contract talks.<\/p>\n
“There is progress, yes,” said the defender.<\/p>\n
“These are internal discussions and we’ll see. I love the club, I love the fans and they were there for us again [at Fulham].”<\/p>\n
There is less certainty about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future, however, with the right-back in talks with Real Madrid over a free transfer move to Spain before next season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
