Liverpool have reportedly reached a ‘complicated’ stage of negotiations regarding the new contract for Mohamed Salah.
The club have been attempting to tie the Egyptian down beyond a current deal that expires in 2023.
However, no agreement has yet been reached although there is believed to be a desire from all parties to secure the new deal.
That’s according to a report from journalist David Maddock for the Mirror, as cited by Anfield Watch on Twitter.
The report claims that discussions regarding the 69 times capped ace’s new contract could ‘stretch into 2022’.
Salah has been in remarkable form this season and capped off the most recent stage of domestic action with a wonder goal and assist as the Reds’ drew 2-2 with Manchester City.

Based on current form, there is nobody more deserving of a lucrative new deal in world football.
The 29-year-old forward continues to defy belief and would appear to only now be entering his prime – a frightening proposition.
Albeit a possible breaking of the wage structure required, if anyone in the current Liverpool squad is worth it, it’s the ‘Egyptian King’.
Valued at £90million (Transfermarkt), it would potentially cost way beyond that fee to replace the superstar winger.
