Mohamed Salah is poised to finally sign on the dotted line to seal his new contract, much to the relief of Jurgen Klopp. And with his significant decision, the Liverpool star has proved that he remains as hungry as ever to contribute to their success.
The issue of his new contract has left a dark cloud surrounding his future this season, with Salah’s current deal set to expire in 2023. But Mirror Football understands an agreement is close after the parties reached a breakthrough in negotiations this week.
Salah initially rejected new terms which would have seen him earning £400,000 a week, leaving Liverpool’s owners fearing that he would allow his current contract to run down and depart as a free agent in the summer of 2023. European clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all shown an interest in Salah in the past and would surely jump at the chance to snap him up.
