Mo Salah’s Liverpool contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025, but the expectation is that discussions are being held behind the scenes over a possible extension.

That’s the expectation of Damien Delaney who speculated that the Reds would be mulling over a potential two-year deal for their talismanic winger.

The Egyptian international has started the 2024/25 season terrifically, racking up 11 goal contributions in nine appearances (across all competitions).

The Reds’ captain has already made clear his desire to continue beyond his 2025 expiry date.

However, things enter into more murky waters when considering Alexander-Arnold’s contract future. It’s no secret that Real Madrid are keeping an eye on the fullback’s situation.

Likewise, with Liverpool’s Egyptian King the threat of the Middle East…
