The Egyptian attacker has repeatedly raised eyebrows in recent weeks with his public statements regarding his contract situation. Salah, who rarely faces the media, has on two occasions expressed his disappointment with the fact that Liverpool have yet to offer him a new contract.

Transfer insiders have since cast doubt on Salah's comments, claiming that talks with his agent Ramy Abbas are ongoing and have been for months. Instead, his comments are viewed as purely a tactic to put pressure on the club to cough up the money he is demanding.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the sticking point regarding his new contract is not, as has been claimed, the potential length of his deal but rather the salary and the time it is taking Liverpool to get serious over his deal.

According to The Athletic, Salah would even be ready to agree to just a one-year extension to his expiring deal but he is growing 'exasperated' over the Reds dragging their feet.

Salah won't join PSG

In recent days, rumours have cropped up that PSG have begun taking a keen interest in Salah's situation given that he would be free to negotiate with them in January.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi is known to have a good relationship with Salah and PSG are not entirely happy with their current attacking options. However, according to Ben Jacobs, there is little substance to this link.

PSG deny being in negotiations with Salah and there is a feeling that his agent is using the French giants as a means of putting pressure on Liverpool to pick up the pace.

There have been no contacts with Salah's camp and PSG are not considering bringing the 32-year-old to the French capital.
