Liverpool expect Mohamed Salah to stay at Anfield next season.
Salah, 31, will enter the final year of his contract this summer and there is fresh speculation about a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
However, Salah has given no indication that he wants to leave and Liverpool are not planning to sell.
Salah’s future is expected to be addressed once sporting director Richard Hughes officially begins work in the role and Jurgen Klopp’s successor – Feyenoord boss Arne Slott – is appointed.
Salah and Klopp’s touchline spat during Saturday’s 2-2 draw against West Ham and the forward’s collapse have added fuel to the fire surrounding his future at Anfield.

Gary Neville believes Mohamed Salah has ‘hit a brick wall’
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville:
“I was at the Merseyside derby, and I’ve done a lot of Liverpool games recently and Salah is not at his level. He’s a fantastic player and a fantastic player, but he was massively outplayed in the Merseyside derby.
“I mean, he didn’t touch the ball in the first half. Remarkably, he was in front of me against Mykolenko, I don’t remember him getting the ball. I think we showed that he’s about five. Six touches after 30-odd minutes.
“He wasn’t in the game, they weren’t getting him in the game. But Mo Salah usually comes into the game.
“When Ashley Young comes on in the second half and goes back down the left to Mykolenko who picks up that knock, and you’re thinking ‘OK, OK. Here we go. They like it, 1-0 down. And Liverpool are fighting to keep themselves in the local derby.
“Mo Salah has just hit a brick wall. You have to be careful, there was a player called Son here (in the north London derby) who I think probably hit a brick wall about 18 months ago, where he looked like he was. Gone and he was struggling.
“These players play a lot of football, they play consistently and Salah has always been there for about six or seven years. You need a break.”
