Liverpool in ‘serious’ conversations over Mo Salah’s contract extension

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Liverpool are having “really good conversations” with Mohamed Salah over extending his contract on Merseyside.

Salah, who has 18 months left on his existing Anfield deal, told Sky Sports back in October that he never wants to leave the club. However, his future is fully dependent on Liverpool agreeing on terms that are both suitable for the player and the club.

Speaking ahead the 5-0 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford, Salah told Sky Sports: “If you ask me, I would love to stay until the last day of my football career, but I can’t say much about that – it’s not in my hands.

“It depends on what the club want, not on me.

“At the moment I can’t see myself ever playing against Liverpool. That would make me sad. It’s hard, I don’t want to talk about it, but it would make me really sad.

“At the moment I don’t see myself playing against Liverpool but let’s see what will happen in the future.”

The Reds have already tied down a number of senior players to new contracts. However, the big one still remains – although Jurgen Klopp is not all concerned as he lifted the lid on how the talks are going.

“We are in really good conversations,” Klopp told Sky Sports News. “I want it to happen, but when? I couldn’t care less.”

No player has scored more league goals than Salah in Europe this season, with top Premier League target Dusan Vlahovic the only one to have matched his tally of 15 goals.

Salah is expected to start again as the Reds head to Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday
