Salah, 32, stated late last month that the club hadn’t yet approached him regarding a contract extension on Merseyside.

Nevertheless, it appears that the Reds’ management has made a fresh contract proposal to the Egyptian international.

This information comes from The Mirror, which reports that Salah is close to wrapping up a new two-year deal at Anfield.

Salah allegedly requested a three-year contract to secure his future with the club, but the Reds were initially only proposing a one-year extension.

However, it is believed that both sides have come to a “compromise” on a two-year agreement.

The speculation surrounding Salah’s forthcoming two-year contract follows remarks from former Egyptian international Haytham Farouk, who claimed that the ex-Chelsea and Roma player had already signed a new deal.

“The Egyptian king rules with his own choices.”
