Mohamed Salah major new contract claim as Liverpool 'ask about' two alternatives

It's one down seven to go in Liverpool's mad April. The Reds momentarily leapfrogged Manchester City with a 2-0 home win against Watford on Saturday before Pep Guardiola's side regained top spot with a 2-0 win of their own at Burnley.
