Liverpool are confident of reaching an agreement to extend Mohamed Salah's stay at the club, talkSPORT understands.

The Egyptian star is out of contract this summer and is yet to put pen to paper on a new deal.

Interest has been building from Saudi Arabia and around Europe in his services.

The 32-year-old is not in active talks over a move to the Saudi Pro League, despite being a key target, talkSPORT understands.

However, the Reds are now feeling upbeat about the prospect of Salah staying on Merseyside.

Salah is enjoying a stunning season so far - where he leads the Premier League's charts for goals and assists.

With 27 goals and 17 assists already, he is on course for his best ever campaign in the English top-flight.

He is just three assists shy of equalling Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne's record of 20 in a single season.

And he needs just five more strikes to tie his record tally of 32 he set during his first year at the club following his move from Roma in 2017.

The news comes a day after it emerged that Salah's teammate, Trent Alexander-Arnold, is bound for Real Madrid upon the expiration of his contract this summer.
