The 29-year-old has been an incredible servant for the Reds, scoring 125 goals in 203 appearances since joining from Roma back in 2017 and arguably becoming one of the top players in world football.

Salah's current Liverpool deal runs until the summer of 2023, but the hope is that he will extend his stay at Anfield beyond that date.

The Verdict: No-brainer for the Reds

Extending Salah's stay at Liverpool has to be one of the most pressing matters to sort this summer, given his enormous influence at the club over the past four seasons.

The Egyptian is already a legendary figure for the Reds, but there is always a risk that his head could be turned by another huge club in Europe.

Tying him down for a few more years would be a major positive for Liverpool as he looks to smash more records and win more trophies along the way.
