Chelsea are ready to test Liverpool's resolve over Mohamed Salah.

With his current deal now inside it's final 18 months, contract talks with Liverpool have been dragging on.

Goal says there is no guarantee of Salah and Liverpool reaching an agreement and instead the situation has encouraged the interest of European rivals.

Former club Chelsea are drawing up plans to bid for the Egypt captain, while PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also interested.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said last week: “We know, I know, that Mo wants to stay. We want him to stay. This is where we are. These things take time, I can't change that, sorry! But I think everything is in place."

However despite Klopp's words, those close to negotiations say the reality is the opposite: with no progress being made.
