Mohamed Salah is closer than ever to extending his Liverpool contract and putting an end to a long-running saga over his future.
Mail Sport understands that the Egyptian is now closing in on signing a new deal at the Anfield club.
Virgil van Dijk is likely to follow suit after dropping a significant hint over his future twice in the last week. The captain said ‘progress’ was being made at Craven Cottage and told a kids question-and-answer event with Cadbury’s that a resolution will soon be found.
It is understood the Dutch defender is heading in the right direction with his saga, too, and is on course to also put pen to paper on a new deal – though nothing is signed or official on either count yet.
