Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool are in talks over extending Mohamed Salah’s contract.
The Egypt international recently entered the final two years of his current deal at Anfield, which is understood to be worth in the region of £200,000 per week.
Klopp’s side recently safeguarded the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk with long-term extensions earlier this month.
Ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Burnley, the Liverpool manager revealed that negotiations are now underway to tie down Salah to a similar arrangement.
“I am involved in pretty much everything in the club. Maybe some talks happen without me but I know about all the things and it’s how it always is,” said Klopp.
“We don’t really speak about these kind of things [contract negotiations].
“I know we changed that a little bit with Hendo (Jordan Henderson), but that doesn’t mean we will talk from now on and tell you about each little step we make in any negotiations.
“But two things: Mo is obviously in a really good moment football-wise, mood-wise, and how he behaves from the first day he came back is absolutely great.
“We’re all adults, we’re all professionals, there are talks and when there is a decision we will tell you.
“Until then it is only important how the parties work together. With two years left you can imagine there are talks and that is it.”
Salah set a new Premier League record in last weekend’s win over Norwich City by becoming the first player to score in five consecutive opening-day fixtures.
He also sits just two goals away from a century of top-flight goals, which Klopp believes will only spur the 29-year-old on to scale further highs for Liverpool.
He added: “I don’t have to explain these things to him.
“He knows; he is aware of all these things. He enjoys the time here. Breaking records is great and the records he has broken already is absolutely insane.
“I didn’t know last week that when he scored the goal he became the first player in history to score in the first game in five consecutive seasons.
“There’s a reason why no one else did it – it’s really difficult and he did it.
“If there are any more records out there, he will know about it without changing everything. He just has to play his football.
“I am really happy if he stays like this but I never told him that he could be one of the biggest LFC legends ever because that is not what you go for.
“Records, yes, but becoming a legend is something people will judge after your career. He is in a good mood and hopefully it can stay like this.”
