Liverpool are close to sealing the deal for contract extension for forward Mohamed Salah after the playmaker reportedly decided against demanding a pay rise that would see him match Cristiano Ronaldo’s wages at Manchester United.

Salah’s current contract expires in 2023 and the Egyptian international is expected extend his contract for another four years.

Top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona declared interest in the forward after talks between the two parties were brought to a stall a few months ago.

Marca reported that Salah turned down an offer that would see him earn 400,000 pounds per week, demanding half a million pounds a week.

However, according to the Mirror, the Egyptian forward is now edging towards a new Liverpool deal after lowering his demands.
