Ammon News - Jurgen Klopp is feeling positive about Mohamed Salah's contract renewal; Egypt forward has 18 months to go on his deal, but has publicly stated his desire to stay at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are having "really good conversations" with Mohamed Salah over extending his contract.

Salah, who has 18 months left on his deal, told Sky Sports in October that he never wants to leave Anfield, but that his future is dependent on the club.

Liverpool have tied down a number of senior players to new deals this season, but fans are still waiting for their star forward to put pen to paper on a new contract.

Manager Klopp, though, is not worried about the pace of negotiations.

"We are in really good conversations," Klopp told Sky Sports News.

"I want it to happen, but when? I couldn't care less."

No player has scored more league goals than Salah in Europe this season, with Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic the only one to have matched his tally of 15 goals. He also has nine assists.

Speaking ahead the 5-0 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford, Salah told Sky Sports: "If you ask me, I would love to stay until the last day of my football career, but I can't say much about that - it's not in my hands.

"It depends on what the club want, not on me.

"At the moment I can't see myself ever playing against Liverpool. That would make me sad. It's hard, I don't want to talk about it, but it would make me really sad.

"At the moment I don't see myself playing against Liverpool but let's see what will happen in the future."
