As the season is about to end, the ‘Salah issue’ continues to grow. Even thou June is still not so close, and Liverpool are more focused on their quest for quadruple, the journalists and fans are eager to know if Liverpool’s best player will remain with the Reds beyond June 2022 or another blockbuster transfer will happen this summer (the other will be Erling Haaland).

Egyptian minister of sport Ashraf Sobhi gave an interview for the national radio, and felt the need to reveal his conversation with team’s captain, and even inform the public what advice he gave his countrymen. “I met with Mohamed Salah at the airport after the end of the Senegal match and the failure to reach the World Cup finals and said to him to forget what happened and focus on what’s next. I have advised him to continue his journey at a club other than Liverpool, but his direction now is to renew his contract with Liverpool. There are campaigns against Salah directed by some to bring him down, but I asked him not to pay attention to them” Sobhi told Egyptian radio, as reported by Metro.Breakthrough! Salah and Liverpool move closer to an agreement after the Egyptian drops his $655,000-per-week demandsAnother confirmation about the ongoing negotiations came from Liverpool’s coach. Jurgen Klopp was asked about the situation regarding Salah ahead of his Benfica duel in the Champions League quarter final. “I am happy with it because nothing new to say, that’s good. The decisive parties are talking and that’s all I need” said the German. There were also some reports which suggested that the Egyptian made a compromise and will drop the high wage demands in favor of a long contract. Since Salah is 29 years old, this would effectively mean that his career will end at Enfield.
