In the wake of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool are reportedly gearing up to intensify negotiations for the contract renewal of their prolific forward, Mohamed Salah.
Despite his remarkable success with the club, Salah’s future hangs in the balance, with only 18 months remaining on his existing deal.
Speculation surrounding Salah’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League emerged during the summer transfer window, although Liverpool staunchly rebuffed any advances.
With the Egyptian forward now facing the last stretch of his current contract, there have been murmurs suggesting a possible departure at the end of the ongoing campaign.

Liverpool keen on extending Mohamed Salah Contract
Contrary to earlier rumours, a recent report from The Athletic suggests that Salah is open to extending his tenure at Anfield, despite attracting interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.
Liverpool are poised to engage in discussions over a new contract once the 31-year-old returns from the Africa Cup of Nations, where he is currently representing Egypt.
While the Reds were initially keen on broaching the subject of a new deal earlier this year, Salah’s primary focus remains on his international duties in the Ivory Coast.

Sources indicate that Salah remains motivated to compete at the highest level of European football alongside Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The prolific striker has continued to be a linchpin for Liverpool, contributing 18 goals and nine assists in 27 competitive appearances this season.
Since his arrival from Roma in the summer of 2017, Salah has notched an impressive tally of 204 goals in 332 matches, solidifying his status as a key figure in the Merseyside club.
In addition to Salah, Liverpool are expected to initiate contract discussions with key players Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, both of whom are set to be free agents in June 2025.
