Liverpool 'are FINALLY on verge of agreeing new deal with Mo Salah'

Liverpool are set to finally clinch an agreement with star forward Mo Salah to extend his contract at Anfield after a lengthy impasse, according to reports.

The Reds have been left in a stalemate in negotiations with the Egyptian - who is believed to have rejected a £400,000 a week offer from the club in December. 

Salah - widely considered as one of the world's best players - has a deal until the end of next season with the club, but talks with Liverpool reportedly broke down last month - clouding uncertainty over his future. 

The 29-year-old has reportedly been looking for a salary in the range of £500,000 a week that would put him in the same bracket as Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, but he has now had a change of heart and is ready to compromise with the club's hierarchy. 

That's according to the Mirror, who believe Salah is 'on the brink' of agreeing a new contract that would see him end his career at Anfield. 

Liverpool officials were left fearing the worst after the latest set-back in talks with Salah - concerned he could end up running his contract down until summer 2023 before walking away as a free agent, the report adds. 

European heavyweights like PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid also could have pounced on the uncertainty by testing Liverpool's resolve with a cut-price offer.

But now a package is being put together which would see Salah agree a new three year deal with an option for an extra year - it says - effectively meaning he will finish off his career as a Liverpool player.
