Salah is currently one of three Reds stars who is out of contract at the end of the season.

However, and as the ECHO reported on Wednesday evening, Liverpool are increasingly confident they can reach an agreement with the forward over an extension.

The development is a welcome boost to the Reds, who are closing in on becoming Premier League champions.

The comment is likely to be in reference to Salah claiming that the Sky Sports pundit was 'obsessed' with him back in January.

I come in, I get asked a question, I answer as diplomatically as I possibly can… I think.

'I'm not going to criticise Mo Salah or Trent Alexander-Arnold, I’m going to rave about how Virgil van Dijk has handled it and I get myself in all sorts of trouble!” Speaking on the It’s Called Soccer podcast with Gary Neville last month, Carragher admitted that he had concerns about whether the forward would sign a new contract after the Reds exited the Champions League and lost the League Cup final.

He said: “Do you know what worries me, not from their point of view, more from the club’s point of view.

My feeling and worry is, it kept feeling like Salah and Van Dijk were winning the PR battle because Liverpool were top of the league, winning every game in the Champions League, talking about trebles, going to do this, going to do that.

“And in the last week, I hope this isn’t the case, but maybe the people at the club are going, ‘Is this a little sign of things to come in the future?

I mean you’ve won the league, we haven’t won the Champions League, you haven’t won the Ballon d’Or.

“I was actually thinking this means the club are maybe not going to shift the goalposts at all or maybe only slightly if you end up winning the league.

Imagine if Liverpool would’ve won the league, the Champions League, and Salah the Ballon d’Or, it’s give him what he wants, all that again.

"So, no, I think the club will look at that and think our offer’s right.”
