Salah saga
Mohamed Salah wants to stay at Liverpool even though he hasn't yet agreed a new deal.
That's according to Reds legend Michael Owen, who believes that the club should alter their contract policy to keep hold of the Egyptian.
As it stands, Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the season once his current deal at Anfield expires on June 30.
He is yet to agree to new terms amid a potential final season at the club in which he has scored a stunning 32 goals in 43 matches.
However, ex-Liverpool striker Owen believes the 32-year-old wants to extend his stay, as long as Liverpool make one key change.
"Mo Salah's an interesting one. I think Mo Salah wants to stay, in fact I'm pretty sure he wants to stay," he told talkSPORT.
"I think Liverpool are going to have to bend the rules slightly, they might say, 'Oh right, only two years for players of this age.'
"But he's no normal player, he's as fit as a flea, he's dedicated, he lives in the gym, he's so profeSsional. You can't tell me that he's not going to be at the same level in three, four years.
"I mean, he's just unbelievable, so I would bend the rules, I would give him the contract, the length of contract.
"I'm also not that type of person, a fan that says, 'Just give him what he wants, he's brilliant, we'll win the league with him.' No, because you can't put your club at risk, but I don't think it's got to that stage.
"To replace him, it's going to cost an awful lot more, you're not going to pay a transfer fee for him.
"So I would do whatever it takes to keep him, and I think he wants to stay, but sources tell me that they're still quite a way apart."
