Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he “feels good” over Mohammed Salah’s contract talks which are being discussed between the “decisive parties”.
Salah, whose contract expires in June 2023, is close to agreeing a new deal with the club to keep him until the end of his career.
Liverpool have tied down a number of senior players to new deals this season, but fans are still waiting for their star forward to put pen to paper on a new contract.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League quarter final first leg with Benfica tomorrow, Klopp said: “I’m happy with it because there’s nothing new to say – that’s good. The decisive parties are talking to each other and that’s all I need.”

Carra: A toss-up between Salah and Mbappe
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher thinks Salah and Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe are currently the best two players in the world:
“I think the toss-up for me would be between Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe,” he says. “They would be the two who would split people now in the way Messi and Ronaldo have split people for so many years.
“But I think the season Salah is having, and the numbers he’s got compared to anyone else in the Premier League, which is the best league in the world right now, just shows how far ahead of everybody else in the Premier League he is.”
