Mohamed Salah is now leaning towards signing a new contract with Liverpool.

The Mirror says Salah is now close to agreeing a new contract which will keep him at Liverpool until the end of his career.

A change of mind from the 29-year-old Egypt international has heightened Anfield hopes of bringing an end to the long drawn out saga over his new deal which is set to give Reds boss Jurgen Klopp a huge boost.

After Salah rejected new terms which would have seen him earning £400,000 a week Liverpool's owners were fearing the worst and that he would allow his current contract to run down making him a free agent in the summer of 2023.

That would have also made him vulnerable to offers from interested big hitters like Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona this summer.

But now Salah, who appreciates the affection for him on Merseyside which was once again displayed again this week in Liverpool consoling him over Egypt missing out on the World Cup finals, is prepared to compromise on his initial demands of matching the likes of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo's £500,000-a-week wage packet.

That could involve an extra 12 months on the three years which have been discussed, which would effectively see him play out the best remaining years of his career with the club he joined almost five years ago.
