Despite delivering one of his best performances for Liverpool this season, the Egyptian forward has not yet signed a new contract with the club. While talks are still taking place, the January transfer window is now open, allowing him to speak with clubs from other countries about a potential move when his contract expires in the summer.
And those discussions look to have resulted in a lucrative contract offer from a top European club, as they pile the pressure on both Salah and Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah receives PSG offer, piling the pressure on LiverpoolAccording to French journalist Romain Collet Gaudin, PSG are extremely keen to bring Mohamed Salah to Paris next season, and have offered him a deal worth £415,000-per-week on a three-year contract.
By contrast, Liverpool are only looking to pay Salah £330,000-per-week, while only extending his contract by another two years. It seems his preference is to continue his career at Anfield, but with such a lucrative offer on the table Liverpool might find it difficult to compete.
Salah also highlighted after beating West Ham 5-0 last Sunday that he isn't close to signing anything with the Reds, either.
"We are far away from that [contract] and I don't want to put anything in the media," Salah said. "The only thing on my mind is I want Liverpool to win the league and I want to be part of that.

In FourFourTwo's view, it seems unlikely that the 32-year-old will agree to join PSG, though that reported offer could actually help Salah in negotiations with his current side. Liverpool won't want to lose the Egyptian, and might have to swallow their pride and pay him closer to what the French side are prepared to spend.
