Mohamed Salah agent spotted with Liverpool legend as contract rumours swirl

Liverpool supporters will be hopeful that agent Ramy Abbas Issa can broker a contract extension for club legend Mohamed Salah in the coming months - so perhaps it's encouraging that the Egyptian's representative has been socialising with another Reds icon.

Abbas shared footage on his Instagram story on Monday night of himself seemingly in a bar and in the company of Liverpool's all-time top goalscorer Ian Rush. It's unclear from the footage where the video was taken, although the Reds are in action in the Champions League in Lisbon on Tuesday, when they face Benfica in the first leg of their quarter-final.

Abbas has become a figure of intrigue for Liverpool supporters, as he will no doubt be involved in the negotiations should Salah agree fresh terms on Merseyside.

Salah has enjoyed an extraordinary campaign for the Reds and is widely regarded as the best player in the world. However, his contract is set to expire at the end of next season and the lack of an extension has triggered some angst among those who frequent Anfield.

Back in October, Rush said he had spoken to Salah about his future.

"At the end of the day, every club in the world would want Mo Salah," he said. "I know that he would love to stay at Liverpool. There aren't any supporters who will love Mo Salah more than Liverpool supporters, there's no doubt about that.

"It's a difficult situation. I know Jurgen Klopp loves him and all that, so you've just got to wait and see. But if you're Mo Salah, you just carry on scoring goals. I know how the structure works with Liverpool, so I think hopefully everything is in agreement and both parties are happy."
