Jamie Carragher has confirmed that Liverpool have offered Mohamed Salah a new contract.

And the Anfield legend said that he would be gutted if the club’s hierarchy do not come back with an improved offer to tie star man Salah down. The future of the Premier League ’s top scorer and assist maker remains uncertain with four months remaining on his deal.

While Liverpool ’s issue surrounds offering a player who turns 33 this summer a long-term deal, Carragher sees no issue with Salah because his conditioning is so good.

“Do not believe he hasn’t been offered a contract. I can actually assure you he has been offered a contract,” Carragher said on The Overlap’s Fan Debate.

Speaking alongside Paul Scholes, the former Manchester United man kicked things off saying: “Once you get over 30 I think every club looks at that, that’s the way they do it.

“But, I think it’s a little bit different now. In our time 35 you were done, but now you’re seeing players going to 37, 38, 39, 40. It’s alright having all that info and data but your eye has to see it as well.

“[Arne] Slot and his staff will see them in training every day and just look at their bodies, what are they, 32, 33? It looks to me like two years is not a problem.

“We talk about a year’s option, that option is not always in the club’s favour, it gets triggered with a certain number of appearances. I could understand people looking at me thinking a year is enough, but I’m looking at them thinking they could p*** this for another two years.”

Carragher then replied, saying: “I agree. For me, because they’re still so good now. I understand what they’ve done for the club but they’re still so good right now that I don’t think you can be offering them a year. It’d have to be two.

“I’d be gutted if Liverpool didn’t sign them but I’d also be looking at them like, why haven’t you signed? The team is made for them, it is loved, where are they gonna go? Other clubs aren’t going to give them the money or give them long contracts, certainly in Europe.”

Carragher went on to say Salah may not be interested in a switch to Saudi Arabia, where the money on offer will be huge but the standard and level of glory is a fraction of what he could do in Europe.

“We talk about Saudi, I just can’t see Salah doing that. He’s too driven, he’s too much of a winner. I think Salah can go until he’s 37, 38. He can play.”
