Mo Salah is reportedly set to be handed a new contract at Liverpool despite speculation throughout the season having linked him with an Anfield exit.
This comes from the Press Association (via the Mirror), with the publication claiming that five other Reds stars are being lined up for new terms, including Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Andy Robertson.
With the club having secured Champions League qualification for the next campaign, the Merseyside-based outfit should theoretically be in a good position to attract the necessary signings to compete for honours next term.
