Mohamed Salah's Liverpool stay hinges on Trent Alexander-Arnold's decision according to a recent report Liverpool fans may finally have reason to be optimistic about Mohamed Salah’s future, as fresh reports suggest the Egyptian star is in serious contract renewal talks. PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports However, the potential departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid could be playing a key role in making the deal happen. Salah edges closer to new Liverpool deal For months, speculation around Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah’s future has kept Liverpool supporters on edge. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Salah himself has hinted at an exit, even suggesting he was "more out than in." But now, things seem to be shifting in the opposite direction. A report from Egyptian outlet Masrawy claims that Liverpool have intensified talks with Salah’s agent, Rami Abbas, and that the club has put forward a significantly improved offer to keep the Egyptian star with the Reds. According to Masrawy, a source inside the club revealed, "Negotiations between Liverpool and Salah’s agent are much more advanced this time than ever before, and the offer presented is higher than any offer made to the player before.” While Saudi Pro League clubs have been eyeing a move for the Premier League's most prolific African forward, Liverpool’s latest efforts suggest they are determined to keep Salah at Anfield beyond 2025. Alexander-Arnold’s exit could be the key to Salah’s future One of the most gripping details in the report, however, is the claim that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s imminent departure to Real Madrid is directly impacting Salah’s contract renewal. According to Masrawy, Liverpool’s decision to let Alexander-Arnold leave could free up funds to meet Salah’s demands. The right-back’s departure would reduce the club’s high wage bill, allowing the Reds to offer Salah the lucrative contract he desires. For Liverpool supporters, this revelation is a double-edged sword. On one hand, keeping Salah would be a massive boost to the club’s ambitions. But on the other, losing Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid would be a devastating blow. Real Madrid have been tracking Alexander-Arnold for months and, according to Mail Sport, are confident that a deal is already "a matter of formality."
