The Egyptian has hinted that the club have not yet tabled suitable fresh terms as speculation over his future continues to rage

Mohamed Salah has claimed his Liverpool contract demands aren't "crazy" while insisting that a final decision on a potential renewal is in the hands of club officials.

Salah has been a talismanic figure for Liverpool since his £37 million ($50m) move to Anfield from Roma in 2017, scoring 148 goals in his first 229 games.

The Egyptian's top-level performances have helped the Reds conquer the Champions League and Premier League under Jurgen Klopp, but speculation over his future has been raging as he enters the final 18 months of his current contract.

Salah has always maintained that he would like to extend his stay at Anfield despite strong links with Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, the 29-year-old has suggested that the reason he hasn't committed to fresh terms is because he is yet to receive a suitable offer from the Reds.

Salah feels he deserves a show of faith from the club in light of his sterling contribution over the last five seasons, as he told GQ Magazine: "I want to stay, but it's not in my hands. It's in their hands.

"They know what I want. I'm not asking for crazy stuff. The thing is when you ask for something and they show you they can give you something because they appreciate what you did for the club.

“I've been here for my fifth year now. I know the club very well. I love the fans. The fans love me. But with the administration, they have [been] told the situation. It's in their hands.
