Liverpool are relaxed about Mohamed Salah’s future at the club and will not rush into negotiations over a new contract, despite rumoured interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The Egyptian winger has been linked with a move to Spain since telling newspaper AS last month that Real and Barca are “top clubs” and his Liverpool future is “in the club’s hands”.

The 28-year-old’s current deal runs until 2023 and includes bonuses. With the coronavirus pandemic impacting finances, Liverpool aren’t looking to discuss a renewal.

The outlet writes that Salah’s interview with AS was no more than an effort by Salah’s representatives to try and get contract talks underway on Merseyside.

Liverpool are confident that the Egypt international won’t agitate for a move at the end of the season and they have no plans to cash in on their top scorer.
