Mohamed Salah claims his future at Liverpool is ‘in the hands’ of the club’s board, with the player saying he wants to stay at Anfield.
The 29-year-old has 18 months left to run on his contract at the club, with the Reds desperate to keep the Egyptian international.
Salah is similarly interested in staying at the club, who he joined from Roma in 2017 for a fee of around £34m.

But, the winger is said to be demanding wages of around £350,000-per-week, which would smash Liverpool’s wage structure and make him the club’s highest paid player of all-time.
The Reds are fearful that handing Salah record wages will prompt salary increases across the club’s board, which would help to push the club into a tough financial situation.
But Salah’s stance is unmoved, with the Egyptian star telling GQ that the matter is ‘in the hands’ of the club’s board.
‘I want to stay, but it’s not in my hands. It’s in their hands,’ Salah told GQ.
‘They know what I want. I’m not asking for crazy stuff. The thing is when you ask for something and they show you they can give you something… because they appreciate what you did for the club.
‘I’ve been here for my fifth year now. I know the club very well. I love the fans. The fans love me. But with the administration, they have [been] told the situation. It’s in their hands.’
