Liverpool have made an opening contract offer to Mohamed Salah as they look to secure the Egyptian forward’s future beyond June 2025.
The 32-year-old has been in scintillating form this season, contributing 15 goals and 12 assists for the Premier League leaders.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed the development, with sources familiar with the process confirming the club’s move to extend Salah’s stay at Anfield.
The forward’s current deal is set to expire at the end of next season, prompting Liverpool to act in their bid to retain their talismanic striker.

Similar contract offers have also been extended to defenders Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose current deals are entering their final six months.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, has reportedly attracted significant interest from Real Madrid.
Van Dijk, who turns 34 in July, finds himself in a similar position to Salah regarding age considerations in contract negotiations.
The club has moved to secure the futures of all three key players, with Alexander-Arnold’s situation particularly pressing given the attention from the Spanish giants.
Both defenders have yet to provide any clear indication regarding the progress of their individual negotiations.
The contract offer comes after Salah’s surprising comments following Liverpool’s 3-2 victory over Southampton last month.

These comments had sparked speculation about his future, with both Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi Arabian clubs reportedly showing interest in the forward.
Despite no agreements being in place, there is a growing belief at Liverpool that all three players will extend their stays at Anfield.
The length and value of the contract remain key sticking points in Salah’s negotiations, with the forward set to turn 33 in June.
