Liverpool management are confident securing Mohamed Salah to a new contract in January.
The Sunday World says Liverpool are "increasingly confident" of handing the club's fans the ultimate Christmas gift - by striking a deal to keep Salah at the club.
Contract talks between Salah and Liverpool have stalled with the Egyptian's financial demands initially rejected out of hand by Anfield chiefs.
Yet talks are underway over a structured deal that will include a big 'signing on' fee for Salah and a bumper pay rise.
With the player keen to stay at Liverpool eager to get the deal over the line for a star man whose contract is due to expire in the summer of 2023, there is a growing confidence agreement can be reached.
Now Liverpool will hope to iron out the fine details in the deal, with an announcement possible as early as next month.
