According to French media, Paris Saint-Germain is prepared to offer Mohamed Salah a deal that is noticeably better than Liverpool’s. Along with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, the Egypt international is one of three Liverpool stars whose contracts expire at the end of the current campaign.

On several instances, Salah has voiced his unhappiness at the lack of movement in the negotiations and been unusually forthright about his contract position.

Although there are still serious concerns about Alexander-Arnold due to Real Madrid’s interest, recent sources have stated that Liverpool is cautiously confident that Salah and Van Dijk would eventually prolong their stays at Anfield. But it appears that a Salah extension might not be as simple as it first appears.

PSG increases Liverpool’s offer to Lure Salah

At least that’s what French journalist Romain Collet Gaudin says, claiming that PSG is prepared to outbid Liverpool for the soon-to-be free agent’s deal.

Since Salah is known to get along well with club manager Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the French powerhouses have been linked to him for a number of weeks. The reports are persistent even after the latter stated that PSG is not interested in the Egyptian.

Gaudin claims that while Liverpool is only willing to extend Salah’s contract for two seasons at a salary of €400,000 per week, PSG is prepared to offer him a three-year contract and €500,000 per week.

More details about the report and whether PSG has already started speaking with Salah’s camp are not given by the writer. They can now officially speak to the 32-year-old, after all.

Even if signing Salah would go against their current transfer objective of recruiting young players, it is not surprising that the French powerhouses would be interested. With an incredible 20 goals and 17 assists in just 26 games this season, the Liverpool icon has been in scorching form.
