Mohamed Salah is closing in on an agreement with Liverpool to extend his contract and remain at Anfield.
After a breakthrough in negotiations with Virgil van Dijk, the club’s captain, it is understood that there is a growing expectation that a new deal will also be struck with Salah.
Both players are out of contract at the end of the season along with Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is wanted by Real Madrid.
Liverpool have always been confident that Salah, 32, will continue his eight-year association with the club despite lengthy negotiations over the financial terms and length of an extension.
Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017, has indicated that he wants to remain on Merseyside
