Salah, 32, stated late last month that the club had yet to reach out to him regarding a contract extension in Merseyside.
However, it now appears that the Reds’ management has made a fresh proposal for a contract to the Egyptian international.
This development is reported by The Mirror, which claims Salah is on the brink of finalizing a new two-year contract at Anfield.
Salah is believed to have requested a three-year deal to secure his future with the club, whereas the Reds initially proposed only a one-year extension.
Nevertheless, it is said that both parties have reached a “compromise” regarding a two-year deal.
Speculation about Salah’s upcoming contract follows remarks from former Egyptian international Haytham Farouk, who suggested that the ex-Chelsea and Roma player had already signed a new agreement.
Alongside a photo of himself with Salah, he wrote on X: “Congratulations on renewing your contract with the number you prefer and the duration you desire.
“The Egyptian king rules with his own decisions.”
