The noises have been more encouraging in recent days regarding Mohamed Salah and his Liverpool future.
Only a few short weeks ago the two sides seemed to be well apart, a narrative not helped by the use of cryptic emojis on social media by Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas Issa. The laughing emojis he used shortly after a Jurgen Klopp press conference prior to the game with Brighton & Hove Albion last month, where the Liverpool boss suggested that the ball was now in Salah's court and the club had done what it could, did not go down well with some fans.
The stance seemed to have softened and Salah, who has said previously he would be happy to finish his playing career at Anfield, now seems to have made the pendulum swing the other way, with Egyptian sports minister Ashraf Sobhi claiming that Salah had told him that it is his intention to renew his deal with the Reds.
