Liverpool have made a breakthrough in contract talks with Mohamed Salah days after Virgil van Dijk acknowledged progress during discussions between his representatives and the club over a new deal.

The Reds have always been confident of agreeing extensions with both players while accepting persuading Trent Alexander-Arnold to stay on would be more difficult.

There is now an expectation that Salah will reach an agreement, with the club increasingly confident it will happen after negotiations over contract length and financials.

The prospect of Salah taking a pay cut has reportedly never been on the agenda during contract talks despite claims that the player's age - he turns 33 in mid-June - would mean facing a reduced wage in order to stay at the club.

The Times reports this was acknowledged during negotiations over the financial terms.

When Salah signed his current contract in July 2022, the suggestion was he would earn weekly wages of around £350,000.

That was a significant rise on the player's previous reported salary, which was £200,000, and made him the highest-paid player in club history.

Multiple national media outlets, including the Athletic, the Mail and The Times, report that both players are signing two-year contracts to stay at Liverpool until the summer of 2027.

That could potentially see their new terms expire simultaneously with several Liverpool team-mates.

Alisson, Conor Bradley, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott, Joe Gomez, Kostas Tsimikas, Luis Diaz and Wataru Endo all currently have contracts until July 2027.

Only the club's more recent signings have longer deals, including Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Federico Chiesa and Ryan Gravenberch, who are tied down for an additional year through to 2028.
