2 MO YEARS? SALAH-BRATE!

Kop idol on verge of signing a new deal

- JOHN RICHARDDSON

MO SALAH is on the brink of signing a new two-year contract with Liverpool to end all doubts about his Anfield future.

A compromise deal between the club's owners Fenway Sports Group and the Egyptian, 32, has been thrashed out after months of negotiations.

Salah's long-time agent Rammy Abbas told the Anfield hierarchy that they were looking for a threeyear contract while initially the club were only prepared to offer a one-year extension once the current agreement ends next summer.

While the stand-off continued Salah went public with statements that this would be his last season with the club he joined in 2017 and has gone on to become a Kop legend.

The money - he is already Liverpool's highest earner on more than £400,000 a week has never been a problem.

It has been the length of the contract which has been the sticking point.
