Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah is facing a long wait over plans for new contract talks.

Salah spoke to TV2 on the weekend about his situation.

"If you ask me, I say I want to stay as long as I can, but as I've said before, it's in the club's hands," he said. "I'm always going to give 100 per cent until the last minute I'm at this club and I want to win as many trophies as I can. I want to give 100 per cent to the people who show me love all the time."

Liverpool broke their transfer record in 2017 to sign Salah from Roma for £36.9million. They rewarded his outstanding first year with a new deal — making him one of the club's best-paid players — in July 2018.

That deal runs until June 2023 and, as things stand, Liverpool are being careful with their finances due to the UK government's lockdown and stadium lockout, says the Daily Mail.

There are no immediate plans to offer contract renewals but when the time comes, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Alisson will be considered, along with Salah.
