Liverpool ace Mo Salah has reinforced his love for the club while making a new admission about his contract negotiations.
The 29-year-old wants a new deal at Anfield and his agent is in talks with Liverpool officials over an extension. However, the Reds are yet to meet Salah’s wage demands, which reportedly sit at more than £400,000 a week.
Liverpool will need to come up with a solution soon as Salah’s current contract expires in 2023. Should the parties fail to reach an agreement, then the Egypt international may have to be sold next January.

In an interview with FourFourTwo (via Sky Sports), Salah was asked if he is confident about remaining on Merseyside.

“So I don’t know, I can’t tell you exactly. I have one year left and the fans know what I want.”
Salah then spoke about how much he loves being at Liverpool. “This club means a lot to me,” he added. “I’ve enjoyed my football here more than anywhere, I gave the club everything and everybody saw that.
“I’ve had a lot of unbelievable moments here, winning trophies, individual goals, individual trophies. It’s like a family here.”
Salah was asked if he can see himself staying at Liverpool next term even if a new contract isn’t agreed.
“Yeah. Er, I think so?” he replied. “But if they want me to go, that’s something different!
“I’m not…
