Mohamed Salah major new contract claim as Liverpool 'ask about' two alternatives
Mohamed Salah is reportedly close to agreeing a new deal that will keep him at Anfield for the rest of his career. The report comes from the Mirror, who claim that Salah has had a change of heart after initially rejecting the club’s contract offer.
The forward’s future has been the subject of much debate throughout the season. And last month, Jurgen Klopp was forced to address the issue once again.

Roy Hodgson makes 'unpleasant' Liverpool admission after Watford defeat
Roy Hodgson admits the manner of Liverpool’s win over his Watford side left “a rather unpleasant taste in the mouth”.
The Reds earned their 10th successive Premier League victory with a 2-0 triumph over the Hornets at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. Diogo Jota gave Liverpool the lead midway through the first half but the points were only made safe when Fabinho converted from the spot with a minute of normal time remaining.
The penalty was awarded with the help of VAR, with referee Stuart Attwell ultimately deciding that Juraj Kucka had fouled Jota from a corner. And it was a sequence of events that Watford boss Hodgson found difficult to accept.
