Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher is surprised manager Jurgen Klopp isn't involved in Mohamed Salah's contract talks.
Salah's deal expires in the summer of 2023 and it's understood he is one of several key players the club want to prioritise trying to tie down.
However, there has been little progress recently in any talks with Salah, which is causing some anxiety among Liverpool fans.
"Klopp vowed captain Jordan Henderson's deal would 'get sorted' after a brief stalemate and it immediately was, yet says he is 'not involved' with Salah's negotiations," Carragher told The Telegraph.
"That seems odd. If there is a sound reason for not resolving the Salah contract situation with the same urgency, it is yet to be satisfactorily explained.
"Whenever we talk about Liverpool's renaissance, we often focus on the influence of Van Dijk and Alisson, taking the team to another level.
"That's fair, but we should not forget that the foundations were in place because of the immediate impact of Salah, who was already on his way to scoring 44 goals in his first season when Van Dijk signed."
