Salah is finally on the verge of signing a new contract with Liverpool that will last the rest of his career
The saga of Mohamed Salah's new Liverpool contract appears to be coming to an end, with the Egyptian on the verge of signing a new contract to stay at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah is on the verge of signing a new contract with Liverpool that will keep him at the club until the end of his career.
The 29-year-old Egypt international's change of heart has boosted Anfield's hopes of putting an end to the long-running saga over his new contract, which is set to give Reds boss Jurgen Klopp a huge boost.
After Salah rejected new contract terms that would have paid him £400,000 per week, Liverpool's owners feared the worst and that he would let his current contract expire, making him a free agent in the summer of 2023.
This would have left him open to offers from big-name clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona this summer.
Salah, who appreciates the affection for him on Merseyside, which was once again displayed this week in Liverpool consoling him over Egypt's failure to qualify for the World Cup finals, is now willing to compromise on his initial demands of matching Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo's £500,000-a-week wage packet.
That could mean an additional 12 months on top of the three years previously discussed, effectively allowing him to play out the best years of his career with the club he joined almost five years ago.
The fact that Salah is ready to commit his future to Liverpool will be celebrated by the red half of the city and will provide a timely boost to Liverpool's quest for an unprecedented quadruple.
Salah has always maintained that he enjoys his life at Liverpool, but he wanted the fact that he is now regarded as one of the world's best players to be reflected in a salary to match. He is now prepared to accept the offer that has been on the table for some time after a change of heart.
