MOHAMED SALAH is on the brink of penning a new deal with Liverpool, it’s been claimed.
The Egyptian winger’s current contract with the Reds – who he joined in June 2017 – expires at the end of the season.
Salah, 32, claimed late last month that the club hadn’t approached him about extending his stay on Merseyside.
But the Reds brass are now said to have offered the Egypt international a new contract.
That’s according to The Mirror, who claim Salah is on the brink of penning a new two-year deal at Anfield.
Salah is said to have demanded a new three-year deal to commit his future to the club, who were reportedly only willing to offer him a new one-year contract.

Both parties, however, are said to have recently reached a “compromise” over a new two-year contract.
News of Salah’s reported new two-year deal come just days after ex-Egypt international Haytham Farouk claimed the former Chelsea and Roma man had inked a new contract.
Along with a picture of himself and Salah, he wrote on X: “Congratulations on renewing your contract with the number you like and the period you want.
“The Egyptian king rules with his own judgments.”
