The positive news regarding contracts continues with Mohamed Salah now reportedly “closing in” on a new deal to extend his stay at Liverpool, at long last!
The Times‘ Paul Joyce reports that “there is a growing expectation that a new deal will be struck with Salah,” in a major boost for the club as we near the end of the season.
It follows on from journalist David Ornstein stating deals for the Egyptian and Virgil van Dijk are now a matter of ‘when rather than if‘.
Joyce states that “sources in his homeland indicate that an accord is now close,” with sporting director Richard Hughes having led discussions with Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa.
After a breakthrough in talks with Virgil van Dijk, the Mail‘s Lewis Steele has also reported that a renewal is “closer than ever” for Salah.
He adds, “no details are known on Salah’s potential new deal but sources suggest a two-year extension seems most likely.”
With the mood having dipped despite Liverpool’s position at the top of the table, the latest reports on contracts for Van Dijk and Salah are a huge boost for the club and supporters.
While nothing has been signed just yet, the end is finally in sight after months and months of speculation regarding the futures of two of Liverpool’s most reliable players.
