Sky Sports News' Melissa Reddy speaking on the Transfer Talk podcast:
"He [Salah] has made it abundantly clear that he wants to remain at Liverpool. And that is a very good position for the club to be in, in terms of these negotiations.
"Now, given Salah's form, you do have the course of giving what he wants, but that is never how a negotiation starts. And I do know they're getting closer in terms of discussing the structure of payments.
"He is the highest earner at the club, and he will continue to be the highest earner at the club even after these negotiations because of his form and worth beyond the pitch, deserves it.
"But it's that how much of his payment is fixed, how much is variable based on performances, does he want to or do the club want to switch that balance because of his age?
"Then it is trying to protect against any dip in form and contract length. Is it a player option? Is it a dual mutual option? These are taxing things.
"And then you have to throw into the equation, Salah's image rights, which is unlike what it is for any other player at the club, he is a commercial behemoth, especially when it comes to markets that Liverpool don't ordinarily touch, like the Middle East.
"So I do know that from both parties side, they want to get it sorted. Salah would like to get it sorted soon, incredibly soon, he would have preferred if it was already done and dusted, given his frustrations being made public."
