Salah’s future with the Premier League leaders is shrouded with uncertainty as no contract extension has yet been struck between the club and player, who could leave for nothing when his Reds deal expires in the summer.
Along with the in-form forward, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are also out of contract at Anfield at the end of the season.
Despite a stunning form this season with 21 goals and 13 assists in 23 Premier League games, Salah’s deal remains a major talking point.
Lovren, one of his close friends and former team-mates, opened up on the Egyptian’s contract situation this week – admitting he is ‘closer to leaving than staying’.
In an interview with WinWin, the defender revealed that he thinks Liverpool have not shown Salah enough respect throughout their negotiations.
He said: ‘Salah believes that there are things missing from the club’s side, and I hope it will be resolved soon. But the current reality is that he is closer to leaving than staying.
