According to Prominent Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool edges closer to clarity as the final update is released hours before the Merseyside Derby

Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has been a major topic of discussion throughout the Premier League season.

The Egyptian forward is having his best season yet at Anfield, with 29 goals and 17 assists, and he’s on track to break several records in the English top-flight, with nine Premier League games remaining.

Despite his exceptional form, Liverpool has not yet finalized a new deal with Salah, and the uncertainty surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid has only added more pressure on the club to secure an agreement with the former AS Roma player.

However, ahead of the Merseyside derby tonight, a significant update regarding Salah’s future has emerged.

According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Salah is close to extending his contract with Liverpool, with a full agreement nearing completion. Some final details are still being worked out, but Liverpool is now confident that the deal will be finalized soon.

Aouna reported: “Mohamed Salah is now close to extending his contract at Liverpool. A full agreement is near, with some details still being discussed. Liverpool are feeling confident.”

The extended report from Foot Mercato indicates that Salah’s new contract will be for two years, and the club is also in discussions with Virgil van Dijk about a potential new deal. The general expectation is that the Dutch defender will also sign a new contract with Liverpool.

With Salah’s contract situation nearing resolution, Liverpool can now shift focus to finalizing Van Dijk’s deal, as the captain’s contract is still under negotiation. Fans are hopeful that a new agreement will be reached soon, ensuring that the key defender stays at the club for the foreseeable future.
