The Mohamed Salah contract situation has seen many twists and turns but we are not any closer to knowing whether he will sign a new deal to extend his stay at Anfield.
Salah will go down as one of the greatest players to wear the Liverpool shirt and his legacy at Anfield is secure despite what he chooses to do in the coming months.
The forward is one of the key Liverpool players who will be out of contract at the end of the season and there is no clarity on whether he wants to sign a new deal.
Saudi Pro League clubs are pushing to convince him to move to the Middle East and become the flagbearer of the league in return for the biggest contract of his career.
Salah has not decided yet as he continues to ponder over staying at Anfield or moving to Saudi Arabia for big money while not affecting his lifestyle too much.
Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in him but he is not likely to stay in Europe if he decides to leave Liverpool on a free transfer next summer.
Liverpool receive major Salah contract news
Salah is believed to be torn over his decision, which has led to speculation over his long-term future at Liverpool and the club are indeed looking at potential replacements.
However, according to the Liverpool Echo, the winger would want to stay at Anfield as things stand.
He is not pushing for a move despite the offer of big money from Saudi Arabia, which should give Liverpool a boost in the negotiations with his representatives.
With Salah keen to stay, Liverpool would believe that they have space to make progress in talks over a new deal with his camp.
However, Liverpool will still have to come up with an acceptable offer to convince Salah to sign on the fresh terms.
The winger is likely to demand a longer contract and not a shorter deal that Liverpool is likely to prefer given his age.
The Reds are unlikely to match the money on offer in Saudi Arabia but they will have to find a way to get close to those numbers.
Salah is still Liverpool’s most potent attacker with eight goals and seven assists in 14 appearances in all competitions this season.
