Liverpool are moving closer to agreeing a new contract with forward Mohamed Salah. Talks between all parties are ongoing and a final agreement is yet to be reached, but sources have indicated the club have made positive progress in their efforts and are hopeful a deal will be done. Salah's deal expires at the end of the season and there has been some uncertainty over his future, with clubs in Saudi Arabia keen to land the Egypt international. But the recent progress has raised hope at Anfield that Salah will extend his stay at the Premier League club. Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since his arrival in the summer of 2017 and has been central to the team's title charge this season, scoring 32 goals across all competitions. Earlier this week, captain Virgil van Dijk - whose deal also expires in the summer - provided a positive update on his own contract talks. "There is progress, yes," said the defender. "These are internal discussions and we'll see. I love the club, I love the fans and they were there for us again [at Fulham]." There is less certainty about Trent Alexander-Arnold's future, however, with the right-back in talks with Real Madrid over a free transfer move to Spain before next season.
