Mohamed Salah is determined to renew his contract with Liverpool, according to an Egyptian sports minister who pleaded with him to leave the Reds.
Liverpool's top scorer Salah is believed to be on the verge of ending months of speculation by agreeing a new deal at Anfield which will see him remain at the club for the peak years of his career.
He will have one year remaining on his current deal at the end of the season, and has been linked with moves to several clubs including Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus.
