'The real issue began' - Man City star named as reason for Mohamed Salah Liverpool contract stand-off

Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has blamed Jack Grealish for the club’s contract complications with Mohamed Salah as the Egyptian star’s deal is set to expire at the end of next season.

Salah’s future has been discussed at length in recent months with the 29-year-old yet to agree to a new deal with the Reds. When asked about the contract negotiations recently, Jurgen Klopp said that Liverpool 'cannot do much more' except wait for the forward's final decision.

The forward has been in fine form for Liverpool this season, scoring 31 times in 51 appearances in all competitions. The ECHO understands negotiations are ongoing between the forward's representatives and the club, with Salah about to enter the final 12 months of his current deal that was signed in 2018.
